BACKGROUND
A. Rationale
People know that health is wealth. A healthy individual can maximize his potential
in giving a good outcome in his society. Being healthy makes one more productive in
any field he is into and he can have lesser chances of acquiring diseases. With the
existence of countless diseases nowadays, every individual must be prepared in
protecting himself for an ounce of prevention is better than a pound of cure. Moreover,
with the increasing demands of basic commodities, it is better for an individual to be free
from any sickness because if otherwise, it will just be an additional burden for the family
who is already undergoing problems such as poverty and of the like.
Barangay Damilisan is one of the oldest barangays of the municipality of Miagao.
It is considered to be the most progressive barangay among others in Miagao as seen
from the beautiful houses along the highway. At present there are 239households and a
total population of 1432. It has a total landarea of 65 hectares with 20 hectares for
agriculture, 44hectares of residential lands, and one hectare of commercial lands.
Today, Barangay Damilisan is headed by Barangay Captain Rogelio Gayom Sr. with the
help of many officials, health workers and day care center facilitators. It also has a
monthly visiting doctor and nurse from the Municipality of Miagao. As a usual project of
the barangay, they are having seminar lectures or information gathering whenever the
season of certain illnesses is fast approaching.
As the proponents of this said project were interviewing different families,
mothers and children in the barangay, they had found out that the residents of Barangay
Damilisan are experiencing problems regarding health especially some common
sicknesses such as cold, sore eyes, asthma and many others. Therefore, there is a
need to conduct lectures on proper hygiene and sanitation, proper nutrition, exercise,
educational activities and awareness programs on the different types of diseases so as
to prevent the spread of communicable diseases and for people to basically be healthy.
Children between 3-6years of age, with their parents, will be participating in the said
activity which will be held in the Daycare Center of Barangay Damilisan, Miagao, Iloilo.
Not only these, because the proponents of this project also noticed the lack of
resources for educational materials in its day care center, the team will donate
educational materials such as story books, story-telling devices, coloring books, some
school supplies and many more in the day care center in order to increase the interest
of preschoolers in learning.
How could the proponents increase the awareness of children between 3-6 years
old and their parents on sanitation in Barangay Damilisan, Miagao, Iloilo?
