On Thursday and Friday Yapatera's community radio, (these are speakerphones on long cane polls that blast announcements to the population), invited villagers to have their blood pressure checked for free at Heart of Yapatera's first two Heart Health Posts. The Heart of Yapatera Health Project will be holding four weekly Heart Health Posts at two different
locations on neighborhood porches, with
education on preventative measures. On Thursday and Friday 33 villagers were able to monitor their blood pressure, body fat and BMI. Some of the villagers had never had their blood pressure or height measure. Many people dressed up for the event and lingered for hours chatting, it was a major social event.
