Medical Camp: Pre-Registration
Our club is very honoured to be given the chance to participate in the "Medical Camp" project co organised by our sponsoring club, Rotary Club of Port Klang and many other organizations.
The Medical Camp will take place on 5th March 2006 at Stella Marri Hall in Jalan Kastam, Port Klang, Malaysia from 8.00 am onwards. The object of the Medical Camp project is to provide free clinic and outpatient treatment to the residents staying at the Low Cost Flat in Port Klang. The Organisers will arrange for qualified doctors, dentist and optician to provide free consultation and checking to the residents there.
In order to ascertain the estimated number of people who will show up on that day and also to briefly record down their medical history, we had on 19th February 2006 conducted a pre-registration at the Low Cost Flat.
A total of 12 Rotaractors and Guest turned up to help on that day. Once we were there, we were split into small Teams of 3. Then each team was assigned to one particular floor of one particular Block to do house to house pre-registration.
Each team was given loads of registration forms which we will help the residents to fill up. It was a very exciting and interesting event as we need to knock on every door to disseminate information about the medical camp and also ask for their particulars for registration.
It was not an easy task. It was similar to a sales man knocking on doors to sell products. Some residents were very friendly and welcome us with smiles but the same cannot be said to the rest. Some refused to open their doors. It was normal as people tend to be defensive when being approached by strangers.
Anyway, we enjoy the tasks very much. So after we have finished the original assignment given to us, we rushed to the control centre and asked for further assignments so that we could run into the flats and continue with the pre-registration works.
Overall, the whole exercise was very fruitful, satisfying and educational. We learnt lots of things from it. It gave us a unique experience which we would not normally have had we chosen to spend the time at home watching TV instead.
Looking forward to the "real thing", the Medical Camp on 5th March 2006. Hope to see the guests/volunteers who helped for this pre-registration again.
See ya there!

Dear Lonely Blogger,
Again, sorry for the late pictures. I could imagine how good this article will be with some pictures that we have taken.
Also, you are damn right! Watching TV on a coach is nothing compare to doing some goods for the community.
