All children 10 years and under were screened for trachoma as part of ongoing health programs to improve community health. The screening will be repeated later and a health program to prevent this disease will commence next term. Preliminary findings indicated over 55% of our students tested had trachoma. |
Trachoma can be prevented by taking simple steps. Regular washing of hands
and face with soap and water is all it takes. Unfortunately this is a little
harder when our school has poor washing facilities and then some distance
from the entrance to classrooms.
We hope that this situation will be
remedied in the near future.
We have been waiting a long time for
simple things that most schools take for granted.
