 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.
