Notes
Irene went to Ituba Namalowe to teach about alcohol and drug abuse. The meeting as always started with a word from the chairman and then after the VHT who urged members to take up the immunization of COVID because the government has extended the service close to them in the nearby hospital. Irene was invited to say a word to the members. She started with a review of the previous lesson and there after asked the members the meaning of key words lic an Alcohol,alcoholism,drugs, and abuse. There after together with the members discussed the causes, health,physical,social and economical effects of alcohol and drugs. Musa said him as a moslem he thinks it’s only God that has helped him stay away from alcohol because he used to drink and even sleep on the road side but ever since he fell in a trench and running water went into his mouth he has never drunk again this is because he imagined all the dirty things water collects from poop of people who don’t have latrines to animals that do it in any place, that made him think twice. On addition to that several members gave their experiences with alcohol and other drugs and the chairman said that it’s now a habit among the youths and parents should be vigilant on their children’s friends and movements. There after Irene informed the members that they were almost coming to the end of the health education program in their village and an evaluation will be done to asses the level of things discussed about.
