Stay Alert…. Fight the Bite
Dengue
fever is a viral disease and monsoon season comes with the threat of rise in
the number of dengue cases. The Interact Club of M L Khanna DAV Public School Dwarka
organized Dengue Awareness Campaign to spread awareness about dengue and
promote a safer and healthier learning environment in school. An array of
activities was organized to sensitise the students about dengue. 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. An interesting monologue presented by
Anushri of class VI dressed up like an Aedes mosquito conveyed the message
‘Prevention is better than cure’. Interactor Ananya Dubey recited a self
composed poem on dengue. Dengue Awareness Campaign was also carried out wherein
the interactors educated students of Pre-School to Class II about dengue
mosquito. Sites like flower pots with water were deliberately created in the
school for the drive to make the children the serious consequences of
accumulation of water. The students guided by the interactors visited those
sites wearing masks and gloves. Preventive and self protection measures to
‘Fight the Bite’ were elucidated to the school populace. Kerosene was sprayed
by the gardener on the spot to demonstrate ways to kill the dengue mosquito.
Students were encouraged to share the information gained on the fatal disease
with their classmates and parents. Principal Ms Monika Mehan commended the
efforts of the Interact Club and motivated the students to foster environmental
safeguards and keep their surroundings sanitized to prevent dengue.
