VISITATION TO TSANYAWA COMPREHENSIVE HEALTH CENTER, TSANYAWA, KANO

Visitation to Tsanyawa Comprehensive Health Centre on 22^nd, March 2016. The event started at exactly10:52am, and vistation were made to all the wards in the hospital. The items for donation were unveiled and the patients are given orientation on how to use some of these materials. Materials such as mosquito nets, tooth brushes, toothpastes, children’s shoes and slippers, soaps, detergent, etc.

The items for donation were distributed randomly to the nursing mothers and the patients in the ward by the youth Corps Members of the

aforementioned CDS group.

We proceeded to the next hospital (Tsanyawa Health Clinic), which is a branch/extension of the Tsanyawa Comprehensive Health Centre. This hospital extension has the neonatal wards and thus has more nursing mothers than the main hospital. Items were also donated to the nursing mothers in attendance.

Aftermath, we proceeded to the Tsanyawa Local Government secretariat, where a brief meeting was held between the schedule officer and the Youth Corps members of the Charity and Gender CDS group. In his (Jonathan Gaku) speech, he specifically commended the effort of the sub-members of the Charity and Gender CDS group in the Tsanyawa Village of Tsanyawa local government, in Kano State, Nigeria. He praised their effort in embarking on the call of this unique CDS group, which is serving as an intermediary between the haves and the haves-not. He also admonished them to continue in their effort in achieving the goals of Charity and Gender CDS group and the Community Development Service of the NYSC at large.

The General Secretary, Olukayode Fadairo, of the Charity and Gender CDS group orientated the other members from the Tsanyawa local government about our latest social network (a blog site with url www.charitygendernysc.blogspot.com ) development, which would serve in publicizing and further helps in reaching out to the world about the role and the effectiveness of the NYSC Charity and Gender CDS group.

The representative of the Chairman of the local government area said in his final remarks that “in our course to finding sponsors or donors, we should rather look for people with big heart rather than people with big names. Because where big names fail us, people with big heart may not”.
