MY LUNGS  MY LIFE…….IT’S TIME TO CONTROL ASTHMA
6 may 2014

D.A.V Public School, Dwarka celebrated World Asthma Day on May 06,2014. World Asthma Day takes place each year on the first Tuesday in May. Taking up the initiative to spread awareness about asthma, the Interact Club of  the school organised a special assembly on this occasion. An interactive session with Dr. Kansal, the medical officer of the school kickstarted the assembly in which causes and preventive measures of asthma were touched upon. Students took this as an opportunity to clear their doubts and myths about asthma and also showcased their knowledge on the topic. Dr. Kansal advised the students to identify their trigger points of asthma and carefully follow their doctor’s advice.

A skit was presented by the student members of the Interact Club depicting the causes, deadly results and preventions of asthma. Students also delivered speeches highlighting the need to make people aware about asthma.

As a prelude to World Asthma Day celebration, a Poster Making Competition was organised by the Club for students of classes VII to X on 30 April 2014. The prize winners of this competition were awarded in the special assembly. Principal Ms. Monika Mehan congratulated the winners and applauded the efforts of the Interact Club for the wonderful programme. She encouraged the students to lead healthy lifestyles and adopt practices to keep asthma at bay.
