As part of Our social responsibilities to educate and create awareness about the novel corona virus in our community, Our team visited two of our partner basic schools in Bolgatanga namely; Yikene Primary &Junior High School as well as Cameron School Complex to sensitize the school children on the need to continue adhering to all Covid-19 preventive protocols.
During these informative sessions, we stressed on some basic things the school children could do as effort to help reduce the risk of contacting the virus in school and at home. Student were given the opportunity to ask relevant questions to clear their minds on some misconceptions about Covid-19.
We also seized the opportunity share 210 face masks to the students in the two schools.
This exercise was necessitated by the gradual spike in the number of Covid-19 infections in the region and also across the country.
We hope our interaction with these school children helps to create more awareness, spread calm and alertness.
The team was led by our Director, Bawa Mansur Achebs and Project Coordinator- Nayang Samuel.
We wish to mention Maria Almonacid (@merii_cherry) and Cintia Liger (@cintialiger) who are both professional nurses currently working in our health program amidst these uncertain times. For their commitment to share their experiences and also help educate children our community, We say – “Tuuma Tuuma !”
We continue to admonish everyone to keep observing all the safety protocols as we hope things get better in the coming days.
