^{SMILES AS RESIDENTS OF SIGALAGALA IN KAKAMEGA RECEIVE FREE MEDICAL SERVICES SPONSORED BY HALALA USA}

^{In 2007 New Jersey Chapter hosted their second Halala Conference with recommendations to start a mobile
clinic in Western Kenya.In December 2009 Halala USA came to Kenya with a mission to bring meaningful change to the lives of
western province residents. Led By their President Pius Mwemba and Rose Ballard their treasure, they traversed far and wide
to end up in Sigalagala where a free medical camp was launched and the turn out was credible. The community was very pleased
to have such services that catered for their needs at the doorstep and implored on Halala USA to keep on providing such services
since it proved to be convenient to them.Halala USA is focused on touching the very basic needs of the society by working
with local leaders, collaborating with stakeholders in ensuring that lives of people in western Kenya is improved at large.Since
this organization is not politically inclined its therefore the best vehicle with which resources can be channeled to the
community. For the five years it has been into existence the leadership has shown immense sense of direction to this organization
which has propelled Halala USA to be a force to reckon with in terms of reaching out to the needy.The free medical camp in
Sigalagala was a major test to whether this venture was viable and if the attendance is anything to go by then there is a
direct need to develop a functional health facility that will be able to offer mobile clinic services to the residents of
western province. The over six hundred people attending the camp indicated their willingness to partner with Halala in its
efforts to improve the livelihoods having been lucky to be the first recipients of this medical service in the region.Running
alongside the free medical clinic was an International conference organized by Halala USA and attended by local and International
luhya leaders around the world, residents of western Kenya and medical professions from western Kenya. Speaking at the
conference Dr. Issac Tsikhutsu of Kericho General Hospital offered his services to the organization and is convinced that
a mobile clinic project can be established in the region sooner than the projected time if we all support the ideas of Halala.
The chairman of Kakamega county council Mr.}_{Evans
Ashibikha in his remarks supported the initiative of Halala in community development projects and vowed to work with the organization
to ensure that all their goals are met. The Councilor asked the President of Halala to submit an official request to Kakamega
county council for land on which the mobile clinic project will be housed.}_{The president of Halala in response thanks the councilor for his willingness to support Halala
projects and urged other leaders to emulate his example. The President also acknowledged the contributions of Ms. Alice Kirambi
of African Liaison Program Initiative [ALPI] in community development for the region and support to the organization. He singled
out Mrs. Pauline Makwaka who has attended Halala conferences in the USA and thanked her for her dedication and willingness
to support the organization. A call for all Luhyas around the world to unite under the Halala umbrella was made by the President
of Halala USA for the sake of development in the region. The conference was also attended by, Halala USA officials from New
Jersey and Virginia Chapters in the USA, Kakamega Scouts Local Association, Dr. Kennedy Bonji of Iguhu District Hospital,
Dr. George Matibayi, Rev. Aggrey Osore of ACK Kakamega, Assistant Chief Commissioner Kenya Scouts Association in charge
of Nairobi Mr. Francis Juma & Rosemary Imbayi the Area commissioner Kakamega East District.While in Kakamega
the President and his team from USA visited Shikusa Borstal Institution a rehabilitation facility for children and Iguhu District
Hospital in Kakamega where they donated left over drugs.}_{In
memory of the late Banabas Ochunyi Secretary of Halala Virginia Chapter Halala donated trophies and soccer balls to local
Youth Groups and scouts units in the area.}
