Childen, mostly affected by the Sickle Cell Disease, attended to listen and learn about the disease affecting them.
Parents of sickle cell patients are hungry for knowledge on how to keep the disease under control and the possibility of curing it.
Children received gifts that were donated by well wishers of local Uganda sickle Cell Rescue community in conjuction with DFCU staff.
Mrs. Damali Mukiibi of DFCU Bank offered financial support and also donated the children's gifts to all the children in attendance
The TV was presented to Dr. Ndugwa, Professor and head of sickle cell clinic at Mulago hospital
The TV is meant to be an educational tool showing videos and programs about Sickle Cell care and treatment options available.
Super Star Musician KENZO entertained guests that attended the ceremony. He also involved the children who are Sickle Cell carriers. It was a fun filled day.
Children are seen here enjoying the songs and gestures they learnt from KENZO. Most of the songs performed were educational in relation to our cause.
There was a lot of singing, dancing and stomping. Childrens' involvement is one of the ways to put a smile on the face of an ailing patient.
As much as these functions, ceremonies, seminars, and presentations are meant to educate and inform, having fun has often come along as a plus.
Community Leaders and decision makers involvement has always had a positive impact on the weight of our informative gatherings.
Nurses and the Medical Community has been appreciative and thankful for the effort put in to make the education possible. We thank our sponsors.
