Queen Joy Chinonye Olebu who is the Miss Imo State Queen Nigeria 2018 has embarked on a free medical outreach to sensitize the people of Orsu Local Government Area of Imo State on the importance of healthy living.
The event which is part of the health projects of her NGO (JoyChinonye Foundation) provided free screening and counseling on HIV, Malaria, Diabetes, High Blood Pressure and Hepatitis B and C.
It kicked off with visits to the traditional rulers of the Local Government Area, before the main event at the LGA Secretariat.
Speaking at the event which took place on 7th February, 2019, Queen Joy Chinonye Olebu said most of the people living in the rural areas do not pay adequate attention to their health, adding that it often doesn’t cost much to maintain a healthy Life.
“Prevention is better than cure and good health is the greatest wealth anyone can brag of as a human being. We brought this programme down to our people, not just to let them know what to treat, but to also help them avoid certain ways of life that will be harmful to their health”
“Aside the screenings, counselling and drugs that were administered, everyone felt loved which is what gives me a sense of fulfillment. They will go home knowing that they are loved and cherished”, she said.
One of the beneficiaries Mrs. Nwajiaku Precious said she is happy with what was going on, calling out the founder, Queen Joy Chinonye Olebu as a proud daughter of Orsu Local Government Area.
Filled with joy, Queen Olebu thanked everyone who made the event a success, praying that God will bless them all.
“I want to seize this opportunity to sincerely say a very big thank you to all our partners: Imo SACA, LACA, SFH, Pacalian B Mega Concept, our media partners and all our volunteers for their contributions towards the success of this programme,May God bless you all” she said.
Having bagged the award of the best Pageant Queen in 2018 from Ultimate Kings and Queens Event Management, Queen Joy Chinonye Olebu will be handing over as Miss Imo 2018 in April 2019, with legacies of humanitarian projects such as Arise Girl Initiative (Projecting the GirlChild through a Dance FlashMob), visit to Imo State Prisons, Awareness on Hepatitis B amongst others carried out through her Foundation.
