Swine Flu”---Awareness Campaign in Aziznagar Village
We are all aware of
the prevailing “Swine Flu” that has affected many people in the Hyderabad city
and around rural areas and the alarming news about its spread and the risks
involved if not protected.
Understanding the
need for concern on this, the KMR Foundation in collaboration with Sreenidhi
International School has organized and held an “Awareness Campaign on Swine
Flu” on 31 January, 2015 in Aziznagar village.
The campaign was
flagged off at the Govt. High School at 10 am. The students and staff from both
the schools Sreenidhi and village High School took the procession carrying
placards and banners shouting campaign slogans on how to prevent the spread and
protect from “Swine Flu”.
Pamphlets in
Telugu- were distributed to the public explaining about the Swine Flu-virus, symptoms, on precautions to
prevent the spread of the virus and how to take care if affected and also on
the importance of medical attention, care and antiviral drugs. The
Sreenidhi (CAS) students also spoke to some family members, shop keepers and
other men and explained to them giving out pamphlets.
The KMRF team &
Sreenidhi students also visited the Primary School and spoke to the children
about the virus and the importance to protect oneself from the attack and more
importantly how to take care if affected by the virus and to prevent the spread
of the virus.
Around 40 students and some staff from SNIS
and Govt. High School, Aziznagar took part in this activity that went on for 2
hours. Even the staff from the Health Centre, Aziznagar joined in our campaign.
They insisted us to carry out this campaign to a few neighboring villages where
the villagers need to be educated as they are not well- aware of this illness
and the risk involved if not treated, protected or prevented from spread.
Our next plan is to campaign in Nagireddyguda & Bakaram villages—neighbor
to Aziznagar.
