Welcome Sabrina.

We are pleased to finally see you here. Thanks for coming and giving of yourself tot help make a difference in people’s lives in our community. We hope you enjoy every single day of your volunteering experience.

Sabrina has come in from the UK and will join local nurses in conducting a number of medical outreaches and training Community Health  Educators who will go and help educate their “worlds”. We believe each one has a ‘world’ they can influence and it consists of the people you can reach and influence.

Following will be a 2-week outreach to freely screen the population of diabetes and hypertension. Services will be free, admission will be free and there will be free distribution of essential medicine. The first week is planned to take place at Bonduma village in Buea and the second week will take place in a Banana plantation camp in Muyuka.
