To Prove. To Provide. Last year, a small group of communication students held their Communication Campaign last year to a small, unknown school in Antipolo. It was just a requirement for a major subject on our 2nd year 1st semester that unknowingly will lead us to helping little children in the every best way that we can. At first, we wanted to conduct a free medical and dental check up, but because of the schedule given to us by the school conflicting to the schedule of the doctors and dentists that we've contacted, it seemed impossible for us to continue this deed. It didn't hit us that much until one doctor particularly told our on
e member that why would we do this kind of campaign if we are not medical or dental students having their practice. Finally, we have decided to just have a HEALTH AWARENESS PROGRAM for the students of Cabading Elementary School. We felt that it will be a great help for them since their school doesn't have concrete buildings, only made of wood and bamboo, and also, they are beside a forest. With the help of Mrs. Elvira Teston, the princpal of Cabading Elementary School, a final date was set. On October 3, 2008, The Health Awareness Program of Team Providence was held. Arriving early, we set up the tarpaulin and other posters given to us by red cross that helps in providing awareness on dengue and other health issues and problems. At 9:00 p.m., the program started, 50 plus students were present at that time, all enthusiast about the event. Mr. Albeno Del Mo
nte, the Health Coordinator of Department of Education, Antipolo branch, gladly offered his services by being our speaker for the event. He talked about certain sickness that the students can get from school or their very homes. he also talked about health awareness and certain tips on how to prevent sickness. After the talk, we gladly presented to the principal and the students the medicine and vitamins that we are donating to the school care of UNILAB. We are very fortunate for having them as our sponsors. The event ended with fun and games for the students. It was very fulfilling to see this young, unfortunate kids smiling, having fun, and satisfied. It was a great feat and achievement for us who are just students to help and contribute to the health awareness of this kids. The campaign experience was a lot of fun, but having to help other kids adds a lot of satisfaction.
