Hispanic Women's Ministry Health Fairs from Potomac Conference on Vimeo.
The Pathfinder Club distributed fliers around the community surrounding the church premises days before de activity. During the event they were also in charge of security, they performed a skit and had a marching exhibition to familiarize the community with their activities. We are very grateful for the commitment that each pathfinder showed during the fair and for their Director Zulamir Torres.
The theme of the fair Security and Prevention, had to do with ways to prevent daily situations that could produce physical or material harm.
INOVA Health System, through Mrs. Maria Schaart (Program Manager), gave a seminar addressing health prevention issues that could affect families. Her department also gave away swaddle blankets that prevent sudden death of babies.
Wylen Lien Fairfax County Firefighters representative gave a seminar on home prevention issues and with her team played with children and gave away presents.
The children were very thankful to Amerigroup who put a moon bounce for them to play. Their team also shared insights of the best ways to secure health insurance for those that have low income.
Mariela Diaz of Advanced Ophthalmology, provided important information in how to take proper care of the eyes and also registered people for free health exams that will be provided in the Health Fair that the Women's Ministry is organizing on September 18 from 2 to 6 p.m.
The Women's Ministry is actively working in and outside the church so that the community may get to know the gospel through the activities the church offers. For that purpose they meet on a monthly basis to study the Bible, pray and share experiences through a program called "MUCH CLOSER TO HIM".
