I want to work on new methods of solving problems in the diagnosis of different diseases that affect the people in my community.
What kind of community outreach activity are you planning to do this semester?
As changemakers, Atwine Elizabeth and I are intending to carry out a community awareness program. This will sensitise people in our community about the new Indian variant of COVID-19 disease which is deadly and hitting Uganda as a second wave of COVID-19. We shall encourage people in our community to adhere to the Standard Operating Procedures provided by the Ministry of health in order to reduce on the spread of the disease. The community awareness program will be carried out around our area of residence which is Taso village. We shall carry out the program on 27th May, 2021.
What worries you in the world and what can you do to change that?
What worries me the most in the world now is the unhealthy and reckless lifestyle people are living which causes their immunity to lower hence leading to quicker contraction and spread of disease. For example not eating a balanced diet and excessive use of drugs and alcohol, unhygienic practices like not washing hands after using a toilet or latrine..
There needs to be strict laws put by the government against drugs and alcohol abuse. There should be regular screening of all people to know those that are more susceptible to disease in order to protect them from the rampant spread of disease by government. The community leaders need to enforce general cleanliness of the villages and towns they lead by ensuring proper sanitation, good drainage systems and safe water sources. This will reduce on the number of infections in the community especially those that are caused by bacteria. Sensitation of the people so that they get to know of a healthy lifestyle for example eating a balanced diet, regular exercising and hygienic practices like washing hands after using a toilet or latrine. I will always endeavor to keep my environment clean by regularly making sure that I dispose off rubbish in the right places, picking rubbish around my environment. I will also write charts reminding people in my community where the rubbish pits are, and also on toilets and latrines not to forget to wash their hands after every visit. I will also reach out to my community members one on one giving them health tips so that they are aware of living better lives.
