Health Carnival Ulu Baram 2013

          This Health Carnival Ulu Baram 2013 was organized by our Sponsoring Lions Club, Lions Club of Miri Mandarin to give needy villagers medical check-ups and aid. On the 5^th-7^th of July 2013, our Leos went along with the Lions deep into the mountains to help them.

        The Lions Club of Miri Mandarin, Lions Club of Batu Niah and Lions Club of Lutong and Leos from Leo Club of Riam Road Secondary School with the spirit of “We Serve, We Care”, went to Ulu Baram which is a six-hour-drive from Miri to attend the Health Carnival Ulu Baram 2013 on 5^th July 2013.  Our main objective was to provide the villagers there free medical service and care.

        This project is an annual project carried out by Samling company and Lions Club of Miri Mandarin, aiming for different rural areas every year. 124 of us went to the camp for three days and two nights, to provide the villagers with free medical services such as body check up, blood pressure test, teeth protection and care and many more. Also, volunteers were there to trim their hair and donations such as clothes, spectacles and mosquito nets were also given to the villagers.

       Coincidentally, this project aided the government to lend these villagers a helping hand and to educate them on medical knowledge. Although there was heavy rain during our stay, we managed to serve 3200 villagers. Methods of prevention were also taught to the villagers.

This project was organized for the following objectives:

1. To create awareness on the health and medical issues among villagers.
2. To improve the medical facilities of Ulu Baram.
3.             To help the villagers to maintain their health and cure their sickness.
4. To educate the villagers on the importance of taking health and hygienic issues seriously.
5. To increase the bond between fellow Leos and Lions.
