It's been a long time since i last posted on this account so let me start off by expressing my happiness with the turnout of this event. π€°πππΈπ¦
Buntis Congress 2024 is an event where we gather all the pregnant ladies in the municipality and do lots of fun activities. We had short lectures and pop quizzes (with prizes of course π), had FREE ultrasound (one 1st time mom even have twins!), FREE CBC and Blood typing, FREE dental check-up, gave out lots of gifts, and held a mini beauty pageant! π They looked so beautiful in their cute dresses, styled hair, and light makeups. It was so refreshing to see. All the moms were sooo attentive and participative too, some even took notes of the lectures! But honestly the best part was seeing them all go home with wide smiles on their faces. To our pregnant moms, I hope we made your day! π
Now personally, I really wanted to pour all efforts on this event bc we had been facing issues of high incidence of home births and neonatal deaths. We were hoping that this event would help spread our strong advocacy on proper maternal and child care. During the Healthy Buntis Pageant, hearing their answers to the difficult questions we threw made me so proud. They answered with such conviction and substance. It was truly inspiring. Our purpose has been met.
Our Buntis Congress may not be like the other municaplities with huge led screens and nice stage lights. But with our meager budget, I think we nailed it. ππͺ
Now this event wouldnt even be successful if not for my diligent and supportive RHU Team. Each and every one worked so hard to pull off our big plans. I thank everyoneβfrom our utility to our driver, to our midwives, to our nurses. Thank you so much as always, guys!
Let me just take this moment to personally express my gratitude to the following people who i cant imagine without during the preparation of this event:
Thank you to our guest doctors Doc Emma and Doc Medina, to our guest med.techs Maam Kristle and Maam Jisellette, to SB Loquias and DMO IV Maam Estela! Your presence truly graced our event. π
To maam Sheriz, whose artistic prowess was on full display. DIY ra tawon na tanan among backdrop guys, dili halata noh? Each one of the balloons were put together by maam sheriz and made it into this beautiful stage design. π¨
To Paula girl, na very active and proactive as always. Thank you so much girl for gladly filling in the role of an emcee and covering for my lapses in program preparation. Love love! π€
To Aiza girl, for overseeing things and also covering for me sa mga kulang na preparations and on-the-spot decisions. Truly a born leader. π»
To Maam Mary Ann and Kuya Boni, for the plywood arch na very ka nindot! Thankyou! πͺ΅
And lastly, but definitely not the least, to mamshies Maam Teresita Lumantas and Maam Lescil (and her better half Kuya Neil), thank you for always preparing grabe ka lami na mga pagkaon! Im always mindblown sa inyong skills sa pag luto. Not only me, but even our guests are all so impressed. Thank you pud kaayo for working behind the scenes, sa pag dukdok sa mga papeles and pagpalihok sa tanan kinahanglan para ma successful ang event. Literal unsaon nalang gyud kung wla mo. I pray the Lord will bless you a thousand fold! π₯π²π°
Salamat Lord for providing us with everything we need and for blessing our event. ππ
