The first and foremost thing we are going to do is the opening ceremony which
is just basically an event where the members of the group will introduce
themselves and get to know the villagers as well as give the villagers some brief
ideas of what our main purpose on this health promotion. We are also hoping
that we could be in the villagers good book so that they will co-operate with us
and making this program go smoothly.

arranged for the villagers throughout the 2 weeks period.
Personal Hygiene & Environmental Sanitation
In this health promotion program, we would like to promote to the villagers about
the importance of personal hygiene and surrounding environment sanitation.
This is because, to ensure a healthy living style is maintained, it is important to
have a strict personal hygiene and good environmental sanitation. Hence, we will
hold a talk about d hygiene and how to keep the environment sanitized. This talk
will cover about the importance as well as precaution during handling food as
well as the importance in wearing shoes when walking in soil to prevent worm
infestation and food poisoning.
We will also demonstrate to them a proper ways of hand washing as well as tooth
brushing technique to the young children. . This is to educate them to keep their
hands clean at all times to prevent any diseases as well as to have a healthy set
of teeth. The talk will also cover topics of personal hygiene from the handling of
their hair all the way to their feet to increase their awareness on their health and
ways to preserve personal hygiene. Together, we can initiate a better approach
towards the concern of environment cleanliness among the residents in the
village.
Balanced diet
A talk about nutrition will be given to the villagers. During the talk, they will be
educated that a balanced diet is crucial in maintenance of good health and to
increase the bodys immunity system. Excessive taking or deficiency of certain
nutrients will lead to multi sickness such as obesity, diabetes and etc. We will
also show them a chart of the food pyramids. It is hoped that this talk will
increase the villagers awareness in order to practice healthy eating habits. A
step by practicing balanced diet brings them hundred miles away from variety of
diseases.

calculate BMI on their own so that they can do it themselves in future. But we will
also rotate the role so that everyone will get the chances to do other jobs
between three parties.
