GPS Basti Jat of U/C Wang  one of the Education institution which was effected badly by flood.  In said school all the children resident of rural basties are reading. The whole community specially children are in the danger of water borne dieses due to flood and unhygienic condition of personal, domestic and environmental hygiene  as well. This school surveyed by Save the Children hygiene promotion team and start delivering orientation and hygiene session to empowering and convey the hygiene messages to the children reading in this school.

Due to non availability of any facility and information regarding health and hygiene the dieses were increasing day by day. All the children were not cutting there nails, brushing teeth washing hand, using toilet and as a result a lot of dieses took place day by day. Mr Bilal was one of them and not adopting such kind of practices. Several time SC Hygiene team members visit that school and delivered health and hygiene related activities sessions. Nail Cutting activity is one of them.

One day I went in that school along with WASH Hygiene promotion team and gave all the students mini hygiene kits consisting of soap, nail cutter, tooth brush, comb and paste and refreshment item also.  All the students opened those bags and refreshment boxes and start different activities.  Mr Bilal being a child should firstly take the refreshment item for eating but he did not do so and he opened his hygiene kit bag and display all the refreshment items and hygiene kit items on the ground. After a while he observed that his nails were so dirty and required to be cut down, he picked up nail cutter and start cutting his nails instead of eating refreshment items.   

  

When it was asked to him that why he did so then he replied that when we will be healthy then we can do each and everything and said that our health is in our own hands. he said, “I will try my level best to to adopt myself and motivate all of my family members and my friends children to adopt and make their habit to practice such kind of good behavior hygiene activities. As its utmost necessary to be and remain healthy. He added.

He very positively said, “The Hygiene kit provided by by SC Hygiene staff is really benefited me towards maintaining my personal hygiene and I am feeling fresh and healthy.
