Senator Sanders & WIN to Celebrate Medical Mission to Nigeria

Senator James Sanders Jr. (D-Rochdale Village, Far Rockaway) and the When in Need Foundation will host a special event on July 20, 2017 to highlight their recent medical mission to Nigeria where they helped the poor in a rural southeast community of the Ideato Imo State. The event will be held at the Prestige Lounge, located at 157-13 Rockaway Boulevard, Jamaica, NY 11434. 

Sanders and WIN brought 30 doctors along with them to Nigeria as well as medicines to combat illnesses like malaria, typhoid, cholera, diabetes and high blood pressure. They also provided eyeglasses to those who had visual impairments, in addition to helping those suffering from blindness and glaucoma. Over 3,000 people, ages 18 to 96 were given medical examinations. More than 600 children also received care.

The event will feature a short film of trip highlights and the entire occasion will be aimed at promoting the WIN mission of building a better world through charity. 

Refreshments will be served.
