UN Malaria Day Multipoint VC

D.A.V. Public School, Khera Khurd celebrated the cause of Malaria Eradication on UN Malaria Day by participating in a multipoint special videoconference arranged by Tony Blair Faith Foundation for the discussion about the same theme. The two other schools, one from Delhi and another from Indonesia participated in the conference. Two special guests: Ms. Nina Pine and Ms. Rachel Finn from San Francisco addressed the students about how and why Malaria is an important global issue. They advised students on some precautions to protect themselves from the disease and also suggested the ways in which they can contribute for the cause to the world. The students of all the participating schools discussed the activities they have been undertaking to fight the disease and then some faith element was added to the issue when speakers told them that there are countries where faith leaders play a major role in the eradication of Malaria. At the end of 90 minutes discussion, facilitator, Mr. Cory Davis from United States summed up the discussion. During the dialogue students came up with some very effective steps to aware people about the causes, precautions and symptoms of disease such as Talk Shows, Door to Door campaigning with the help of MCD, Street Plays etc. DAV, Khera Khurd has started their work towards the Malaria Eradication Program and will continue it in coming Monsoons.
