We have just returned from a visit to Santiago and we are excited to share some news and updates with you! Our last Community Health Fair was in February 2020 just before the pandemic and we decided that it was time to host another one. We brought down a team of 10 volunteers and joined a dozen health educators and volunteers from Santiago to hosted a series of 4 health fairs.
We invited children from the schools that we partner with and their parents to come and engage in our health screenings and education on oral health, hygiene, nutrition, exercise, women's health and reproduction, prevention of anemia, and use of low emissions stove and water filters. Families received health related supplies including soap, hand sanitizer, and toothbrushes and toothpaste.
Thank you for your generous support and donations in 2023! With your help, we were able to educate over 700 members of the community of Santiago. We will return to Santiago in July and hope that you will continue to support us!
