Pune: Jamgaon

Day 4

We met 1011 beautiful children from 33 schools today. Each school was represented by at least one teacher.

Some of us had fun with the children before the distribution started. They enjoyed demonstrating their English language skills by chanting English rhymes.

After the distribution we talked to the teachers and encouraged them to discuss with the children and their parents the importance and use of the mosquito net.

During an interview with a parent and a school supervisor we learned that the blanket and mosquito net were very important. The mosquito net was valued in the prevention of both malaria and dengue fever.
