On Thursday, August 31, 2023, the volunteers of VFAHT AIMC LC gathered together to spread awareness about hand hygiene in a slum area called ‘Shah Di Khoi’. The objectives of this activity were to teach the local kids and community of the basic 7 steps of hand washing and to inform them about the associated diseases if one does not follow basic hand hygiene such as hepatitis A& E, gastrointestinal disorders, COVID 19, meningitis and many more.
During the awareness project, the team distributed pamphlets, showed a visual presentation of washing hands by using gloves and paints, and at the end, gave each house a soap. The volunteers covered around 25 plus houses and a local school as well. It was an extremely fruitful session not only for the community but for our volunteers as well. a unique experience indeed.
