Goducate serves basic health needs in Laguna

To respond to the basic health needs of the communities that we serve through literacy and livelihood programs in Laguna province, Philippines, Goducate partnered with Project Luke Foundation in a medical mission at Goducate campsite on Aug 3. Goducate provided the venue, facilitators, and food for the volunteers, whereas Project Luke Foundation supplied the medical and dental staff, masseurs, medicine, and vitamin supplements.

517 people, ranging from infancy to old age, attended for medical attention, and 35 for dental treatment. They were served by 29 volunteers from Project Luke Foundation, 29 nurses from City of Pasay University, and 39 Goducate helpers. The municipality of Bay also helped by providing tarpaulin sheetings.
