The Rotary Club of Antigua Sundown proudly hosted its 10th annual Pediatric Village on September 21, 2024, at the Antigua Girls High School.
The well-being of the pediatric population remains a vital part of the Club’s commitment to the community, and is particularly demonstrated with this annual initiative offering free health checks to children between ages 3 and 11.
The Pediatric Village offered comprehensive health screenings, including weight, height, BMI assessments, vision and dental screening, and general wellness checks. Volunteer doctors, dentists, and eye specialists were on duty throughout the day to provide professional healthcare services.
Pastry Chef Maurine Bowers prepared healthy snacks and smoothies, and nutritionist Zoie Whyte gave valuable insights on healthy food choices and obesity management, providing invaluable dietary guidance to children and parents.
