FRIDAY 8TH JUNE 2012

today,thus Friday 8th June 2012 the team was supposed to continue with our malaria awareness campaign at STATE PREPARATORY SCHOOL.after a brief meeting at the office,we departed for the school premises.as usual the kids were so exited to us,probably because of Jenn and grace.after a brief meeting with the director we went to the classroom to begin the talk.this time around,grace gave the talk while Jenn and Vivian assisted her and myself and Mr. Eric took pictures and a videos.

she started with the meaning of malaria,then the causes,signs and symptoms,effects,and treatment and prevention.afterwards the kids were  given the chance to ask questions and also to give contributions.the pupils responded quite well and after the presentation , Vivian gave a brief talk,telling the pupils to do well to inform their parents,friends,peers,and everyone around them about what they learn t

Mr Eric (the director of cheerful heart foundation)  then asked the students to give a summary of every thing they had learnt,for a price.He insisted that one male and one female should do that.one of the female pupils named Mary,gave quite an impressive summary of everything that was said,but surprisingly none of the male students was prepared to give his summary.Mr Eric decided that any other female could give her summary but none were ready to do that so Mr Eric decided to give only Mary her price,which was GHC50, that is about $30 to motivate the pupils.The pupils were kinda surprised and one could see the regret on their faces.This shows a true example of the lack of confidence in our kids mostly due to being shy,scared of teasing by peers,etc. which is a quite a a problem in all schools.

We departed from the school and went to the office to continue with the days activities.
