| Organization Description: | |
| Our mission is rendering unconditional service to the people not just in our own community but also to the people who needs our help. As part of an international group that supports the World Health Organisation in its fight to stop TB, our club has a commitment to help in our own way. Tuberculosis is increasing in our country. A lot of people are not aware that they have the disease. Poverty is wide spread and there are those because of poverty cannot afford to have themselves checked. We would like to reach to different communities to stop the spread of the disease. Tuberculosis is curable if detected. We have the means, why not share the means. Our club will be putting streamers for TB awareness in different public schools. Further, our first project is in cooperation with the Marikina City Vice- Mayors office for TB Testing using the Rapid Test Kit which we can bring to the barangays. |
