SBOA PUBLIC SCHOOL ERNAKULAM

REPORT OF ACTIVITIES IN CONNECTION WITH MOSQUITO ERADICATION

June:Mosquito menace is a pertinent problem of the people of Kochi. Waterlogging and garbage

dumps give breeding ground for mosquitoes. Mosquitoes not only disturb our sleep but also

bring harmful diseases like Malaria and Dengue. Mosquito breeding can be curtailed to a great

extent by creating awareness among. In June with the Monsoon setting in Dengue was spreading

fast and something had to be done to curb the speed at which it was spreading. As a part of our

School‟s Vision 30 program, we wanted to create health and wellness in the neighborhood and so

the students and teachers of SBOA decided to help the neighborhood houses keep themselves

away from the mosquitoes. We prepared a time tested solution that could be used to repel the

mosquitoes – A decoction of tobacco, lime and soap. We bottled the same and distributed the

same in the neighborhood. The solution had to be poured around their houses to keep the

mosquitoes at bay. The campaign was so effective that we got requests for few more bottles of

the solution which we happily provided. We also created awareness as to how they can prevent

breeding of mosquitoes around their houses.

November: SBOA joined hands with EXNORA and set on a Mission to eradicate mosquitoes

under the able leadership of our Secretary and Correspondent, Mr. Thomas Franco Rajendra

Dev. They inaugurated the Mosquito eradication program with a bang. All the SBOA schools

outside Chennai were given a link to watch the program live. Our students watched the program

live via the link. Many illustrious people including actor AlluArjun addressed the students. The

program gave our students inspiration to be part of a mega initiative taken by our Management.

Our students listed 10 steps to eradicate mosquitoes which they gathered from the speakers

during the program. A team of 100 students with teachers visited Rajeev Nagar, a neighboring

residential area and went house to house and spread awareness about eradication of mosquitoes.

They reminded each family about their responsibilities towards mosquito eradication. We

distributed stickers to each house which read – “I take steps to keep my home free of mosquitoes.

Why don‟t you too?” The same stickers were distributed to all our students, two each. They

were asked to paste the sticker in their homes and take steps to eradicate mosquitoes around their

house and also to educate one neighbor about the 10 points to eradicate mosquitoes and present a

sticker to them. Our Students and Teachers visited LMCC school in Pachalam and visited every

class and demonstrated the ten steps to eradicate mosquitoes. Each of the students of that School

also was given a sticker. The campaign against mosquitoes was a great success as we could build

responsibility in our students to take all measures to eradicate mosquitoes.
