The “Project Happiness” medical camp, held on September 22, 2024, in Rasesa village brought renewed vitality and joy to over 65 elderly villagers. Organized by the Sathya Sai Trust of Gaborone, the camp provided essential medical services to elders aged 80 and above, who were screened and treated by medical officers Dr. Sunil Kadiyala, Dr. Swetha, and Dr. Hitesh Kadiyala. SSSIO volunteers continued to run the permanent medical clinic in Gaborone, which operates every Sunday throughout the year.
Led by Prof. Tsayang, a former University of Botswana professor, the camp aimed to provide holistic care for the elderly, ensuring their physical and emotional well-being. The program began with a prayer led by Reverend Mpoeleng, followed by a welcome address by Prof. Tsayang, who highlighted the importance of caring for the elderly and the need for younger generations to follow her example.
The camp received support from numerous volunteers from Gaborone and Rasesa villages, as well as corporations who co-sponsored the event by providing blankets and food hampers for the elderly. Beyond medical care, the camp focused on promoting well-being, offering guidance on disease prevention and healthy lifestyles, particularly for conditions like diabetes.
The gratitude of the elders was palpable as they expressed heartfelt appreciation for the love and care they received. Dr. Kadiyala, on behalf of his team, extended his gratitude to the people of Rasesa for their warm hospitality and support and advised healthcare providers to continue following up with the elderly for further medical care and recommendations.
