Investing Energy Where It Truly Matters: Bulisa Health Camp – Part 3

In a world full of opportunities and distractions, it’s not always about how much energy we exert — but rather where we choose to invest it. Whether it’s in becoming better ourselves or uplifting someone else, effort is important — but knowing where to apply it makes all the difference.

At the Bulisa Health Camp Part 3, we were reminded of this truth in the most touching and humbling ways.

Not Forgetting the Most Vulnerable: Our Elderly and Differently-Abled

When a call is made for donations, it’s always a wonder to see how true Ubuntu springs into action. The spirit of humanity and community shines brightest when we remember those often left behind. This health camp was a reminder of the power of showing up — especially for the elderly and differently-abled, who are often the most forgotten in society.

Thanks to our generous donors, the impact was both immediate and deeply meaningful:

👉 65 mattresses were donated to ensure a good night’s rest — as many sleep directly on the bare ground.
👉 8 wheelchairs brought new hope and mobility to those living with disabilities.
👉 100 treated mosquito nets were distributed to help fight malaria — a silent killer in these communities.
👉 All 3,600 patients received nutritional porridge, recognizing the long distances (some walking up to 15km) just to seek medical care. Pregnant mothers and children also received biscuits and clean drinking water to replenish their strength.
👉 Donations of clothes and toothpaste brought dignity and a smile to many faces.

A Testimony That Still Echoes in Our Hearts

One elderly woman, overwhelmed with gratitude, said:

“You don’t know what you have done for us old women who are almost forgotten and neglected by our own. Our priorities always come last considering the younger ones first.”

These words remain etched in our minds — a powerful reminder of the depth of need, and the impact we can make when we reach out to those in remote, often neglected areas.

This is more than a health camp. It’s a movement. A message. A mission.

To our donors, volunteers, and every hand that made this possible — thank you. You didn’t just give items — you gave dignity, hope, and comfort.

Let’s continue choosing where we place our energy.

Let’s keep showing up — especially for those the world forgets.
