School-Based Mobile Health Clinics Expand

The Public Health Team has been working hard to increase the number of schools that benefit from HopeCore’s Mobile Health Clinics. In order to do this, the Public Health Team has increased the number of schools they visit each day from one to two. They get an early start, leaving the office before 9 am to start training at the first school by 10 am. After two and a half hours of training and providing health services to the children, the team packs up their instructional materials and medications and heads off to the next school. By 1 pm the team begins training and providing health services to the children of the second school. The team returns to the HopeCore offices around 4:30 pm each day.

The rough roads make the work hard, but the team is revitalized by the children’s enthusiasm to learn and better their health. Teachers and parents send heartfelt thank you letters describing how the Mobile School Clinics have improved their children’s health and performance in school.  The Public Health Team uses such praise as fuel to work even harder for the children of Chogoria. The team hopes their busier schedule will enable them to impact more and more schools each month.
