Below are some photos of the community work during the Federation of African medical students association (East African general assembly) where i was the chairman for pre-conference activities that were community based: Malaria prevention campaigns, HIV/AIDS awareness, counseling and testing, Promoting Family Planning, Maternal and Child Health, Community Hygiene and Sanitation promotion, Health promotion and education and Safe male circumcision. Having been the leader of this exercise, I got an opportunity to improve my skills in community mobilization. The exercise went on for a period of one week and yielded good results. 2029 people were counseled and tested for HIV, 437 men were circumcised, 131 women received long term family planning methods; 1050 patients were treated and 236 women came for antenatal care, and health education and promotion were carried out in 7 secondary schools. A total of 140 medical students were involved in the exercise.
From the conference I started my rotation in internal medicine after which I will do the final examinations to complete the 5 1/2 year struggle. I will be done by April according to the (KIU) school programme and I hope for the best.
God bless

Thanks for your effort you really did a good job.
I love the spirit these guys are showing to the community indeed this is what it takes to be a good citizen of the country.
surely if i got the opportunity too i would even go beyond general cleaning to even looking after the elderly people who can’t make a cup of tea for themselves.
Thanks to WMF scholarships for transforming people to good citizen who can really benefit the community.
