We have 50 Charity Boxes located around Paphos – During 2018 they have accumulated the magnificent sum of €4,881.63 (over 10% up on last year) – an average of €97.63 per box. No mean feat with all the different Charity boxes out there. A BIG THANK YOU to all Bars, Kiosks, Lawyers Office, Chemists, Hospitals etc etc who have supported us in this endeavour, and a BIG THANK YOU to the public who have chosen the CPSG boxes for their loose change and often paper money as well. A VERY SPECIAL THANKS goes to the Railway Inn, Chloraka whose box collected a whopping €1,413.87 – WOW!
Raffle Prizes – Over 400 were donated to, and needed by, the CPSG Charity – Gift Vouchers; Meals; Bottles of Wine and much much more. The CPSG would like to thank the Retail Outlets; Bars; Restaurants; our Members and Anyone else who donated those much needed prizes to help us fundraise at our many Charity Events throughout the year – where would we be without your support. THANK YOU

FOODS and CANCER – In the last issue of the Newsletter (Winter) we identified Acidic Foods and Alkaline foods and the link with Cancer – Most Chefs and Foodies agree that adding a Dash of this or pinch of that can transform an ordinary dish into pure MAGIC, but what many culinary experts may not know is the ZING that makes your supper SING can also help to Prevent cancer. Scientists have found that certain foods, including some herbs and spices, contain phytochemicals, which can affect our bodies biologically – Through their ability to stimulate the immune system – phytochemiucals may aid in keeping cancer at bay. Ways to spice up your food and keep you in good health – now please pass the Pepper!
FRESH GINGER: Ginger is an antioxidant and natural cancer fighter for most cancers ie for Prostate, Breast, Lung, Liver and Colon cancers.
