!Rot Florence Feyikemi Ayoola-Egbeyemi (RC Ikoyi Metropolitan) The 3 Days Rotarians for family health program made me know the power and influence of Rotary and Rotarians in a community. For us Obalende/Ikoyi and in fact under the bridge brought the these to bear when RC Ikoyi Metropolitan came to serve humanity through the various life saving and well being programme. People benefited from the Malaria, Hepatitis A$B test, HIV and the Blood sugar level test. People who had high blood pressure were immediately safed through available medicare and assistance. 6 people tested positive to Hepatitis and we are following up yo ensure treatment and complete wholeness. The family health talk help tremendously with people understanding that they can live a better quality life without spending much I am proud to be a Rotarian!!
Rotn. Uzoamaka Egbuna (All Stars President, Rotary Club of Victoria Garden City) I have two readily in mind. Fortunately the two were in the same school- Sango-Tedo Junior and Senior Secondary School, Ajah,(in Lagos). This was under the presidency of Rotn. Tunde Sowobi, the club gave the school portable drinking water, and because it was done with the assistant of the Global Grants, Rotary Community Corps was created to manage it. And secondly, about two or three classrooms were roofed. Also during the leadership of Rotarian Tony Egboikhan, our Immediate Past President, we renovated completely, about three classrooms in the same school. On the day the projects were commissioned, you could see the smiles and happiness in the faces of the teachers and the students and ofcourse we Rotarians. Those were very impactful and a soothing moments for me.
