Most of the time I wish to interact with the children wherever I go. I am very happy to do activity with the children. Same thing happened when I entered the school in Bommasamudra.I asked the in charge of the school did they have any sort of discussion with the girl children regarding Menstrual cycle & importance of hygiene during that period? She told, no;& asked if I can help in that regard it will very great. I selected 6th ,7th ,8th class girl children for the session.
In the beginning I asked their name & what they want to become in their life & listed it on the board .Next question is what is the impotent necessity to achieve this? There were many answers, we came to an end that health is the most important one. Later I related health to personal hygiene specially during menstrual cycle. Initially many put their head down, some starting feeling shy, very few were seeing me. After the ice breaking activity many started asking questions which was very interesting,
· Why the blood will come?
· Mother says it’s bad blood is it true?
· Why we should not touch the one who is in MC?
· Why it is not in boys?
· What is white discharge?
· What are the sanitary napkins?
· In TV they show blue ink flowing in to the napkin what is that?
· Where to get sanitary napkins?
· How to dispose it?
· Which is good one?
& so on…………..
I could answer to their questions. Session went on for nearly 2 hours.We ended the activity by reminding them about their goal with the quotation ”HEALTH IS WEALTH” Teacher felt happy & we felt satisfaction.
