He further urged the health workers to utilize the materials and continue their “good work”.
“Representative Tarponweh has been following the constraints you [health workers] are facing to save lives. The Lawmaker sent us to officially donate these medical materials to you. Among these are lots of drugs and some materials you can use in exercising your duties. This donation is a way of identifying with you during these difficult times.

“I am very excited at this moment to receive these materials from our Lawmaker’s Office. This is not his first time to donate to our facility; he once made a donation of those benches we are currently using. But, we want to appeal to him to continue to assist us. These items are extremely needed”, Madam Padmore explained.
“We experience lots of challenges in handling some situations, especially things we need to attend to emergencies. There are times we are short of drugs like now we are receiving these drugs from our Lawmaker. Our building is in total darkness because of the lack of electricity. On a daily basis, we attend to over thirty-five patients.” Also at the Boys Town Community Clinic, Mrs. Olivia T. Yeenee appreciated Representative Tarponweh for the donation and described it as “timely”.
