Stop Smoking You Tube videos greeted participants at the Symposium/Health Fair. It was a wonderful opportunity of the Sierra Leone community attending  the Fair and Symposium to be made aware of the contribution of the Seventh-day Adventist Church in Sierra Leone to Health Education and the relief of suffering.
 
The Medical Missionary Trainees worked along side Medical Students from the School of Medicine is conducting screening.

Individuals attending the health fair were motivated to make positive lifestyle changes. Comments were heard were "I am so happy for knowing my BMI and my need to reduce body fat"... "I am going to stop smoking!"
