There were so many people gathered in the small lobby, it could not accommodate everyone. The organizers were happy and encouraged to see not only women, but also men, participate in the health fair. One participate said, "It's all good, but only physical health for full-fledged happiness is not enough." After these words, he was kindly directed to the stand, Trust in God, where he received exhaustive answers to all his questions.
