On October 13, 2002 MPP organized a health and safety fair in Lindsay. The idea was developed when we realized the community was very concerned about their drinking water. The water is not safe; it could cause various health problems. We were also motivated by the fact that health insurance for labor immigrants is almost non-existent and there are limited locations that provide low-cost health care. All these issues made us realize that a health fair was needed. With the help of numerous organizations, it came true and was a huge success. We provided services to approximately 500 people. The attending community received tests for high blood pressure, sugar level in the blood, weight and height, as well as information about lead poisoning prevention, asthma, domestic violence, law issues, and immigration. Dental services and flu shots were also given. There was information about low-cost housing, special programs for the handicapped, how to properly use a child car seat, and how to apply for the Healthy Families insurance if they qualify. We also provided fun and happy moments for the entire family. There was music provided by a DJ, folkloric dancing, a clown, face painting, bounce houses for children. There was also free popcorn, fruit, water, balloons and a raffle to give away many prizes. This was a successful event; many people left with a good amount of information and free health services.

El 13 de Octubre de 2002 MPP realizo una Feria de salud y Seguridad en la Comunidad de Lindsay. La idea nació cuando nos dimos cuenta de la preocupación de los residentes de Lindsay sobre el agua para el uso domestico, ya que no es buena para tomar y el miedo a las enfermedades que pueda ocacionar el tomar agua contaminada. También motivados por la ausencia de seguros medicos para la población inmigrante trabajadora del campo y la poca información de lugares que proveen asistencia medica a bajo costo, originó la idea de hacer una feria de salud donde gracias a la coooperación de muchas organizaciones se logro hacer con mucho exito, dandole servicio a aproximadamente a 500 personas mismas que recibieron exámenes de presion arterial, azúcar en la sangre envenenamiento por el plomo, vacunas para la flu, exámenes de peso, altura, servicios dentales y ademas recibieron información acerca del asthma, violencia domestica, asuntos legales, inmigración, información sobre programas de viviendas, programas especiales para incapacitados, como usar los asientos de seguridad para los niños yse llenaron formas para la aseguranza de Healthy Families. Ademas pudimos ofrecer momentos muy agradables y divertidos, todos como en familia, porque hubo música de DJ, bailes folkkloricos, un payasito, pinta caritas, casitas para brincar, ademas regalamos palomitas de maiz, frutas, agua, globos, y muchos premios. realmente fue un evento muy exitoso, muchas personas recibieran información y examenes de salud gratis.
