This was a homecoming for the US-based medical practitioner who spent part of his early childhood at Ihie.

Like the events at the launch at Osusu Aba, the second phase was also dedicated to offering free medical treatment to patients with various categories of terminal ill-health.

As part of the package for the second phase, the Foundation worked in conjunction with the ophthalmologist at the Embassy Hospital Aba, Dr. Micheal Okpe to offer succour to ten patients with different eye problems such as cataract, glucoma etc.

The foundation has also made a foray into educational development by offering scholarship awards to four students from indigent background.
