We are glad to announce to steemit community, that the long awaited life saving event was a huge success, Steemit Helping Hands arrived at Agboyi Ketu with our medical practitioners on Saturday 28-4-16 , the Tent and music equipments was already organised for us, so we got there arranged the chairs tables and drugs and equipments and job began, few people strolled in, while we where still setting, things up, that was how the numbers kept on increasing until there was an overwhelming crowed. all glory to God we where able to put things in order and it kicked off and ended smoothly.
Event highlights
- A brief seminar was organised on health, environmental sanitation and water purification which was made by the health specialists
- Each attendant filled out a medical form and a registration form to enhance orderliness and avoid double appearance.
- A tagged number of identification was attached to the registration form, to avoid dispute of who came in first before who.
- The next step was free medical tests and general checkup was carried out by medical professionals, from BMI(Body mass index) to BP(blood pressure),BS(blood sugar), malaria,typhiod,Hiv etc.
- Free consultation and counselling was carried by the medical experts on health and safety issues, after the tests results was presented.
- Drugs was administered only to the patients who has carried out medical tests and is been diagnosed with any particular trace of sickness or aliments, they all got their drugs as prescribed from our experts who were in charge of drugs administration.
- Patients with urgent issues we could not handle where directed with notes to the nearest general hospital.
- Each attendant after receiving the free administered drugs had his/her left thumb nail painted with a permanent marker and tagged number collected to ensure they don't appear twice
- The very few ones who had no traces of sickness, were malnourished due to poor eating habits, they where given vitamins and supplements, administered by the medical specialists.
-The HIV medical specialist attended privately to everyone who wanted to get tested and its results will be given privately without the knowledge of any third party to avoid discrimination, we had few positive cases.
- Medical consultants privately attended to those diagnosed HIV, for counselling a few of them flared up and left angrily and disagreement, and the willing ones stayed back for counseling and supplementary drugs was administered to them. Their details was taken for further counseling and treatments.
-The free mosquito nets was distributed to different families accordingly, from the community heads to the family heads, the old,widows then the rest was distributed the the to everyone present.

Doing a good deed can make a big difference. It does not have to be an extraordinary gesture, it simply has to be something born from the heart. When we do something with all the love in the world, the results are better. Do not act by routine or because others do it, let's do it because we are convinced that our actions will have good results. And everything you achieved is proof of that, I'm incredibly happy with everything you've achieved
Let's strive every day to do good and worry about acting from the heart. Remember that our good deeds can have great results and help many people. In addition, life is always responsible for rewarding those who have acted in good faith. So all of us who act to help others will be rewarded in an incomparable way. The most important thing is that the greatest prize will be the satisfaction of knowing that with our good gestures we help someone we love, or even, an unknown one. Therefore we always remember that we must always act in a good way, because our actions have consequences. If we do wrong, we will also affect others. Let's try this does not happen. On the contrary, when we perform an action, let's do it with our hearts in our hands and thinking about what effects it will have on others.
