Dengue Prevention Week
Fight the Bite
Dengue fever is fast emerging as a pandemic viral disease and with the arrival of the monsoon there is an increase in the spread of this disease.
Taking the onus to spread awareness about dengue and to promote and provide a safer and healthier learning environment, the Interact Club of DAV Dwarka observed Dengue Prevention Week which covered dengue awareness activities spanning the whole week.
Students made placards conveying the message to prevent dengue. A special assembly was organized to spread awareness about the importance of proper environment sanitation in the fight against dengue fever. A street play highlighting the causes, possible breeding sites of dengue mosquito and home remedies to prevent it, was presented by the interactors.
Continuing the efforts to eliminate the possibilities of this potentially lethal disease, Dengue Awareness Campaign was carried out, wherein the students of the club educated Pre-School to Class IV students about dengue mosquito. Sites like flower pots with water, were deliberately created in the school for the drive. The students guided by the interactors visited those sites wearing masks and gloves. Kerosene was sprayed by the gardener on the spot to demonstrate ways to kill the dengue mosquito. Preventive and self protection measures to ‘Fight the Bite’ were elucidated to the school populace. Students shared the information gained on the fatal disease with their classmates and parents. A rally was also carried out in school. The little ones participated in it enthusiastically shouting slogans like ‘Let’s fight against dengue’.
Principal Ms Monika Mehan applauded the endeavours of the Interact Club in organizing the anti-dengue drive. She motivated the students to foster environmental consciousness and keep their environment sanitized to prevent dengue.
