Health education programme-Shilpa Children’s Development Centre

It was another unforgettable day of my clerkship programme. Although there are lot of interesting visits, that day I have to play as a teacher. Usually we are doing health education programme in school. Bt, due to midyear school vacation, we had to do it in an orphanage of female children. Bt it was really great experience than we thought.

Bt THE THING is we had to wear a saree for that event. Of course, it looked gorgeous  with sarees, bt it took so long to wear them  L

We reached there a 9 o’clock in the morning & were warmly welcome by the staff& the children of that

orphanage.

We got prepared for this event, since 2 days. First we divided ourselves into 4 groups. We had to arrange a lesson appropriate to age group between 15-17 yrs. So we decide to do on ‘FIRST AID ‘

First we introduced ourselves & then we asked questions from them to identify their knowledge about fist aids. At the beginning they didn’t care about much, but when we proceeding, they got friendly with us & it became a successful discussion. 

In our discussion we paid more attention to improve there knowledge about

·         What is first aid

·         Who can give it

·         What are the occasions we need first aid

·         Importance of giving first aid……… etc

We discussed about  the first aids of

·         Laceration, abrasion & cut injury

·         Burns

·         Dental subluxation

·         Cat & dog bites

·         Snake bites

·         Faintishness

·         Fever………………… etc.

At the end of discussion they became so fond of us,& they took pictures with us & finally, they did a vote of thank too.

It was really great experience for me & I was really satisfy with this work. Thank should go to our COM MED DEPARTMENT, who guided us to do this level. J
