TB remaining the world’s leading infectious killer, being
responsible for the deaths of nearly 1.7 million people each year and
representing the ninth leading cause of death globally. Therefore to campaign
the awareness among people, on 24th march every year WORLD TB DAY is observed
with different themes.
Our school is no exception, we also observed the TB day so
as to bring mindfulness among the students and staff with the knowledge of
Tuberculosis symptom, prevention and precautions.
The day began with a presentation on TB by science teacher
Mrs Tenzin Dolkar la, a member of school health committee where she detailed on
how TB is spread, what are the symptoms, where should they be more alert and so
on. She concluded with a short video clipping on TB related issues. Next they
distributed a weight machine between two homes. The main purpose of
distributing this machine is to measure the weight of the students or to check
whether they are overweight or underweight.
On the 5th period there was an art and essay competition
(optional) for the senior students. Cash prize was handed over to the top three
winners for essay, poster and arts. In the essay competition first prize was
begged by Kalsang Dolkar of class X D , second by Pema Choezom of class XS and
third by Dechen Choekyi of class X S.
For the poster, we have first position Gawa Dorjee XD , second Tenzin Wangpo and
third position we have Tenzin Kunphel X D.
The information packed charts on the wall, video
clipping and beautiful presentation in
the hall have surely install some information on the minds of these
children. The day ended with
satisfaction filled heart.
