A health fair is an educational interactive event designed mainly for outreach with the sole purpose of creating awareness and providing preventive medicine and medical screening to the community.
The benefit of this health fair is to encourage the African community in Diaspora to take their health seriously by making it a priority in their lives.
We wish to stir people to not only cut out some of the foods they eat i.e red meats but also advice them to consider portion control. This is not a burdensome experience, in fact, it is quiet the contrary. It is just a matter of taking a step at a time, sacrificing some time and making a few minute changes that surprisingly go a very long way to adding years to your life.
A health fair is one way we can give back to our community and also a way to inspire others to do the same. Not only in America, but we can take our knowledge and expertise back to Nigeria to not only host events like health fairs but train others that can continue in our footsteps once we leave.
There is a need for health awareness in america but an even greater need in the motherland. If we can get in the habit of giving back, we can do exploits. we can be the change we want to see!
