ACHI and The Pandemic
By QUEEN OBASI | PRESIDENT
Our mission of bringing health care to the people in need continues to be our focus even during this pandemic. The world is fighting a war that is affecting all humankind with the black population being affect the most. The third world counties are the most hit, due to lack of health care facilities or system in place to help in wedging this war against the pandemic. There are no testing supplies or centers, hunger and lack of support from the government in form of aid during this period.
ACHI has continued to provide medications to the individuals in the program that are receiving monthly medications for their chronic conditions like diabetes and hypertension. We have made food available to people and would like to do more if we have the financial support needed. We have the staff and a plan in place to achieve this goal but do not have the needed financial support to procure the food items. We also reinforce the need for social distancing, and masking and hand hygiene during the monthly maintenance program. We are hoping for a better year to be able to conduct our annual medical outreach in November 2021. Every dollar raised goes towards medications and medical supplies. We continue to thank our donors and wish more people would join this movement of helping the needy among us.

ACHI REPORT
By QUEEN OBASI | PRESIDENT
This year has had a very significant impact on our annual medical missions. We are unable to have a normal preparation and normal year due to the pandemic. There is a very high need for the program now than ever due to the effect of the pandemic in the rural areas that had no access to health care and with no source of livelihood or money for their needed medications before the pandemic. We have continued to sustain the maintenance program during this period and have also added food drive to help the individuals that have none. Our plan is to extend the maintenance till next year without any gap till we are able to embark on another mission middle of next year. This decision comes with a heavy price tag, we have to buy medications locally, and we have to make sure of what we are buying because of lots of fake medications in the country and this means more money for the best. We continued to need you support to keep this program going. We also want to thank each and every one of you for your prayers and continued financial support over the years and ask you share our program with friends and families for more support.

FOOD DRIVE
By QUEEN OBASI | PRESIDENT
Our work is in the rural villages in Nigeria where there is no or limited access to health care. We were callings from the volunteers on ground about the effect of the COVID-19 on the population we are serving. They were very concerned and frantic about hour people are dying from starvation due to the lockdown with no income or hope of getting any help from the government being that they are in the Eastern part of the country. We ahd to act fast and started asking for help to be able to buy some food stuff locally and distribute to those in our maintenance program and families around the locations.
During the month of May, we combined food drive and maintenance program at the resources center and other locations. We raised some money to buy raw food stuff for the population we serve. We were able to supply about 520 families with Rice, brown beans, black eye peas and tomatoes that will last them for two months depending on the size of the family. Our sincere thanks goes to Friends of Nigeria of America, Christ Episcopal Church in Woodbury, St Mary's Guild of Christ Episcopal church in Woodbury, ACHI board members and friends. We are planning conducting another food drive in July because the condition is getting worse in the villages we serve. There is always room for donation for us to reach more people.
