OWN Correspondent|Published

Maredia Adams and Natalie Conrad wait to be helped during a health day held at a mosque in Beacon Valley on Saturday. Suraya Petersen, the founder of the Concerned Parents community group, who helped to organise the event with help from the local health department, said it was a way to bring basic health services, such as immunisations, family planning, deworming and HIV testing, closer to the community. For more information, call Ms Petersen on 060 316 8726.
