We visited the three-in-one villages mentioned above. Both the coordinators and the medical personnel were all on the ground. The teaching by Doctor Odoh was really awesome! He touched on the key points of High blood pressure and Diabetes, and we all were happy to be present. So many questions were asked by the villagers and even by our coordinators and the answers given by the Doctor were well articulated and appreciated. So much has been learnt on the above two health problems – of both high blood pressure and diabetes.
We give glory to God. The villagers indicated their readiness to put all they had learned from those Health Education sessions into practice. We say a very big thank you to our medical/health personnel for boosting The Garden of HOPE Foundation in Owerre Nkwoji. The Garden of HOPE Foundation in Owerre Nkwoji is waxing stronger and stronger, creating so much positive impact, and touching humanity. Only the prayers from the beneficiaries will help strengthen the project.
Drugs were dispensed after a thorough examination. The coordinators thank you so much for the team spirit. We will all make it to the end and will be proud to tell our children, grandchildren, and great-grandchildren the History of The Garden of HOPE Foundation, Owerrenkwoji. We are happy to be involved. The sum of Naira 10k was given yesterday for our refreshments.
So, we say a big thank you to Prof Egondu Onyejekwe. The pictures and videos will throw more light on our outreach. I’m glad it was a huge success, and many people turned out.
