By Mrs Nnenna Okoturo | CEO of VSCWC
Early this month the Patron of our proposed Venerable Sydney Children’s Hospital - The Venerable Dr. Sydney and his wife visited the children’s facilities that we intend to give free healthcare once we open the children’s hospital in Umuahia, eastern Nigeria is established. The owners of these Children’s charity facilities were excited and very delighted of The Ven. Dr. and Mrs. Sydney Ugwunna's visit. We are very happy that his donation of 6 acres of land and his inherited 16-bedroom house is part of our big plans to build this wonderful hospital soon!
In the meantime, and although the CEO Mrs. Nnenna Okoturo - myself is on maternity.... nothing stops! We are still full steam ahead. The next few months we will finalise the printing of the children’s ‘Red Medical Books’ and start strategic planning on doing an awareness campaign for Smile Train our partner NGO to source out clef lip children all over the eastern part of Nigeria and provide support for Smile Train doctors to carry out their wonderful work to do surgeries to fix each child that has this condition. The Campaign will be schedule late this year.
By next quarter we will be able to provide plans and dates of our Children’s Wellness programme. As stated above we are well under way to completing the plans and activities for the Clef Lip deliverable. We have 4 other deliverables for the Wellness Programme to arrange, this includes the educational awareness of 1. dental (oral) and body hygiene, 2. First aid and CPR/Choking training to children’s workers in the facilities we visited and are partnering with, 3. Malaria prevention and treatments, 4. Immunisation review and administration.
We are so excited as things are moving slowly but surely!!! We cannot thank you enough for your generosity and again you are welcome to get involved we always need more hands-on deck!
