THE Throne Room Full Gospel Church, in collaboration with the Ministry of Health, will be hosting a Medical Outreach and Career Fair on October 26th and 27th, 2018, in the Westminster community.

This was disclosed by Throne Room Full Gospel’s pastor, Sarah Lambert, who noted that the extravaganza will be held under the theme, “Empowering and equipping youths for success.”

Lambert noted that the aim of the fair is to make the youths aware of the opportunities that exist in their society.

“The aim is for the people in the community; for us, we don’t think that they are aware of opportunities out there. So we are hoping that by doing this they are able to see that although you might not have gotten CXC … there are institutions that will still employ you and take you on board,” she said.

On October 26, 2018, the focus will be placed on children of the primary and secondary schools on the West Bank of Demerara, who will be educated on reproductive health, how to prepare curriculum vitae and applications, among other things.

“We want the children to have the right information at hand so they will be able to make informed decisions. So we will be telling them about reproductive health and common entrance coming up. We want to teach them how to do a CV, how to do an application. It’s all about career development. So when they are going out there, they will know how to prepare one,” Lambert noted.

Refreshments will also be provided for the attending students.

On October 27, 2018, from 10:00hrs to 16:00, a team of 25 doctors will be offering free services such as dental care, blood pressure testing, blood grouping testing, HIV testing, blood sugar testing and VIA testing. There will also be health talks and referrals.

Lambert added that the Guyana Defence Force and Qualfon will be present at the event and on-spot recruitment will be done.

Lambert noted that there will also be Bar-B-Que and refreshments on sale.
She is also inviting everyone to attend the event, since they are catering for the young and the old.

The two events are also sponsored by the Guyana Responsible Parenthood Association and the National Agricultural Research and Extension Institute.
