Cura Clinic and Valley ENT --- Best Medical Camp partners, ever!

The Grace Wanjiku Mweru Cancer Foundation, Valley ENT and ACK Cura Clinic partnered yesterday for an event that exceeded our expectations in every way. Our volunteers were on-point, the community turned out in droves, and even Citizen TV made an appearance. The event was possible because of fund-raising done by Leah (see previous blog post!) back home in Louisiana -- I was thrilled that she could be here to help with the preparations and even conduct some of the testing along side her Cura counterparts.

Many thanks to Roselyne from Valley ENT for providing our signage!

Cura community members were screened for breast, cervical and prostate cancers, and were welcome to take informational flyers. Many thanks for the Foundation for providing qualified personnel to do these crucial screenings!

I was working all day, so didn't have a lot of time for photos... but this is one from early in the day. Once the tents were up at about 8:30, there was already a queue and the Clinic waiting room was full. Many thanks to all the volunteers who got the word out in advance of our event!

Special thanks to Roselyne, who found us a couple of years ago and has kept up such great energy for volunteering with us. She rallied her Valley ENT team, brought equipment and supplies, and tirelessly conducted hearing testing all day. Here's Henry, her first Cura Rotary Home patient of the day!

Leah woman-ed the blood pressure testing area -- and once the adult crowds abated, Joyce and Minne came in for their own assessments.

Citizen TV came out to capture images of our event -- here's Moses, the Home Manager, doing his interview for the press. Thanks, again, to Roselyne for making the arrangements for the media presence!

Here's our team after a 10-hour work day -- having served hundreds of people and still smiling!
