"We have always been committed to serving the whole person through our ministries at The Potter's House. We extend that commitment to MegaFest, where we have offered financial planning seminars, built homes in partnership with Habitat for Humanity, and delivered other vital services that met the physical needs of people," said Bishop T.D. Jakes, visionary for MegaFest.
Sponsored by Terra Cotta International (TCI) and The Potter's House of Counseling and Behavioral Health (OCBH), MegaCARE is partnering with governmental and faith-based organizations in South Africa and Swaziland to provide free-on-site health services. TCI and OCBH volunteers and staff will greet families and individuals as they arrive at MegaFest and direct them to triage, general health screening, HIV counseling and testing, dental care, ophthalmic care and referral services where materials and resources on malaria, tuberculosis, domestic violence, HIV/AIDS and more will be disseminated.
A partner of United States President's Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief (PEPFAR), Society for Family Health/New Start will provide HIV testing and counseling while Pro-Health International will provide the physicians, lab techs and pharmacist who will deliver expert care and counseling. The United States Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) is another partner in this initiative.
