Description

In our medical internship program in Nepal, interested medical students may also get involved in our health awareness program. They will conduct health education on proper health-care and sanitation with women groups, youth clubs, other local organizations and school children. In addition, they will provide HIV/Aids awareness, first-Aid information to the local people in rural villages and thereby provide them with a practical life-skill. Similar awareness education will be given to children, by Groups, in government schools, lasting from several days to a week in duration. Again, the Groups' major focus will be to educate and mobilize community groups who can then pass the information onto the community at large.
