Iraq celebrated the World Health Day, an event held in the country every year. JEN was invited to this year’s event and distributed posters and brochures with pictures of JEN’s contribution to Iraq society as well as hygiene materials provided to schools.
The representative of sports activities made the opening remark. There were a lot of questions about JEN’s activity during Q & A sessions of the ceremony. Also, the Ministry of Education in Baghdad provided an occasion of children’s drama and poem reading which aims to raise awareness of maintaining hygienic environments.
At the end of the event, JEN received acknowledgement and praise from the event’s participants and a letter of appreciation from the Ministry of Education. This is because JEN has dedicated to improve the local people’s health and hygiene. In fact, our project for the health and hygiene improvement is not only in the local, but also in an IDP camp.
In the camp, JEN staff facilitating discussion with CHPs (community hygiene promoter) group. The agenda is for example, hygiene kits distribution in the summer and its issues. The issue is especially considered how the promoters will operate smoothly at an occasion of the distribution. Also, the CHPs are a group of the camp residents and they work as volunteer for maintenance of the hygienic environment in the camp.
