It was a good First Sunday of July when Lampara Literacy Movement formally kicked off its banner project, the Lampara Literacy Camp in Habitat for Humanity relocation site in Tanza, Navotas City. 

The 10-week social education program started with its two-part module on hygiene and health. Twenty kids and their parents comprised the pioneer batch of the camp. 



Part One: Hygiene Concepts

Registered Nurse Gica Jean Mayo facilitated the discussion on proper hygiene with the parents. The session aimed to refresh the parent-participants on basic concepts of handwashing, personal hygiene, and oral hygiene. Nurse Gica was also assisted by Lampara's resident RN and RN-in-the-making, Matthew and Zarah. 


The children's camp, on the other hand, was filled with stories and sharing facilitated by Nick and other volunteers from Tamaraw Volunteers. 



Part Two: Health and Integration
The second week was equally-well received by the community as the Lampara team culminated the first module with physical assessment conducted by student nurses from the University of Santo Tomas. 

Prior to house-to-house health assessment and hygiene demonstration, the Lampara campers were entertained by another storytelling session and fun activities. Our volunteers had an authentic experience worthy of sharing to others.

We thank all the donors of our Donate-a-kit drive! We are still accepting donations! Sponsor a child's hygiene kit for only P150! For more details, please visit this site.
