Please tell me if they work, and maybe we can go from there. MALARIA EDUCATIONAL PROGRAM FOR KIDS • Identification of possible mosquito breeding sites o Open ditches carrying stagnant water o Ponds, swamps, puddles, pits and drains o Edges of streams, in water containers, tanks and in rice fields • Organizations that are already fighting malaria – would you like to talk to get someone to visit the village and assess the situation? o www.netmarkafrica.org – has a program in Uganda • Educational resource for children – a html doc. that looks at ways to teach children how to be safe and how to teach them about malaria o www.cdc.gov/malaria/outbreak_toolkit.htm o www.2scholastic.com – type malaria in the search engine and a whole list of educational materials for children of various grades will come up o Malaria Classroom Education – www.malarianomore.org/get_involved/tools/php o www.fightingmalaria.org - • What can be done about reducing the malaria problem in the area: o Improve drainage of stagnant water o Sandfill or grade pot holes – they carry stagnant water which allow mosquito larvae to breed o Cover or try to pour away water sources that are open • If mosquito nets are not available o Curtains, cloths or mats with a recommended insecticide can be hung over doors and windows o Mosquito coils or other fumigants can be used o Screens can be put on doors and windows o Clothing that covers arms and legs can be worn as soon as it gets dark • Play Soccer Malawi – a way to get kids to get together and listen to you. Organize a soccer game or give away free food What can we do? o Ways to get the children together – o What do they do otherwise? o Is the meeting in an easy place to reach? o What are you going to offer for the children to come? – Food, games, play, entertainment o How to teach children? o Songs, rhymes, poems to chant o Puppet shows and dramas to act out o Story telling – the list of educational resources given higher up o Cartoons and posters about what to do and how to recognize symptoms of malaria o Walk around the village and show them where mosquitoes can breed, take them to a nearby clinic to see what doctors and nurses do o What programs are there currently in Kisozi for adults and other children? Why don’t orphaned children get them?
