Khalsa Care Foundation Holds Health Fair, Discussion On Sikh Faith

 According to India West “ The Khalsa Care Foundation recently organized a free health fair in celebration of Guru Ram Das’s Gurpurb. The event was supported by students from Loyola Marymount University, UCLA Health Clinic, and the Bhagat Puran Singh Health Initiative, with logistical guidance from Dr. Greenberg of the World Religions class, Dr. Khalsa, and Dr. Scholl, ensuring smooth operations. Health screening stations were set up in an organized layout, making it easy for attendees to navigate and access various health services. Visitors first provided necessary personal information and health history to the screening technicians, allowing for tailored assessments. Initially hesitant attendees were encouraged by the efficiency of the technicians and chose to participate in the screenings.

While the health fair took place outdoors with protection from the sun, melodious keertan by various Ragis filled the atmosphere. Inside the Darbar Hall, students and faculty from participating institutions gathered to observe and reflect. Others proceeded to the Langar Hall, where a delicious selection of vegetarian food was available, a staple offering in any Gurudwara.

Students also engaged in a lively Q&A session on Sikhism, facilitated by volunteers, which provided an enriching learning experience for all involved.
