THE NOBLEST OF ACTS ARE THOSE SHOWN TO THOSE WHOM YOU KNOW DO NOT HAVE THE MEANS OF PAYING BACK
– Anonymous Quote.
Every good deed deserves some mentioning. Though a clinical student
of the reputable Madonna University, a private University in Nigeria,
the tall and slim beauty scored the highest points and went on to steal
the heart of the Judges to be crowned Queen!!!
AFTER THE BEAUTY CONTEST…
It was a turnaround moment for Queen Stephanie Ibekwe, who have always had a soft spot for helping the less privileged.
So as part of the first major act of her reign, after lavishly
thanking all who supported and propelled her to victory, she immediately
announced “A Free Health Care Program for Internally Displaced Persons
(IDPs)”.
On the strength of all her partners and volunteers, Queen Stephanie
marshaled out elaborate plans on how to help victims of the IDP Camp at
Durumi, Abuja.
The Durumi IDP Camp
Sandy, brown and dusty, the Internally Displaced Persons’ Camp in Durumi, Abuja is like most other IDP Camps in the country.
The camp, however is a place of solace for victims of the terrorist
attacks and violence, as wrath by the deadly Boko Haram Group. Other
persons in the camp, who experienced domestic violence or who are
homeless or economically decrepit, run to the Camp for help.
The camp have a lot of desolate children who mothers, not being able to cater for them, neglect them to the elements of nature.
Periodically government and private relief efforts are brought to the
camp, but it is usually insufficient to go round to the mass of people.
Basic amenities of water, clothing, shelter, food and medicine are, to put it mildly, lacking.
The Free Health Care For Displaced People… Durumi IDP Camp, Abuja
It is so obvious that the displaced persons in Durumi, Abuja would
not quickly forget the care that volunteers and health professionals
rendered on those 3-days.
Free medical consultations were done for these victims of social
decadence and violence, whom would ordinary not be able to afford the
high cost of medical practitioners.
Women, Children were the most beneficiaries of the outreach… the joy was easily palpable in the arena.
Picture Speaks…
The visit took off in earnest as the displaced persons queued up to
get medical check and accompanying drug prescription, where necessary.
It should be noted that most of these internally displaced
persons/patients may have not had a proper medical check up all their
lives or in a very long time, all the while depending on local roots and
herbs with its attendant dangers.
They thronged the place to take advantage of this rare opportunity.
The event had volunteers (supporting and medical practitioners) in
attendance, doing something positively different in the Lives of people.
