Tatipaka has seen a spike in COVID-19 cases since July and their schools are planning on opening for in-person classes in late November and early December. Thus, our main goal is to donate and distribute sanitation supplies; including sanitizer dispensers, disinfectant misters, thermal scanners, etc; to the high school and four local primary schools as well as provide educational pamphlets and videos.
Our second focus with this initiative is to educate the schoolchildren about the importance of cleanliness and good health. We aim to collaborate with the village of Tatipaka and various NGOs to creatively integrate hygienic and nutritious practices into their lifestyles. We hope to engage the children in workshops conducted at the primary schools to teach proper hand-washing and tooth-brushing habits, as well as provide sanitary supplies. We also hope to introduce easy methods to obtain daily nutrients through diet. Our long-term goal is to establish a sustainable hygienic and nutritious environment that can be maintained by the residents of Tatipaka themselves.
