The Chairman of Lion’s Club in the County, Parma Shah said the camp will be held on Saturday the 25th of this month at Hirjibapa Hall Lion’s Complex at Section 58.
Shah was speaking to KNA on Monday during a press conference in Nakuru town.
He said they have invited a Neurosurgeon, Dr. Mahendra Singh from Gertrude’s Children Hospital in Nairobi, who will examine the children and recommend the type of treatment they require.
Shah said that the children who require medication will also be catered for.
He added, that the Lion’s club has decided to assist children with cerebral palsy because they are many in the county and their care and treatment requires a lot of money.
