Projector Program at the nearby school - Goalbari Primary School
As part of the newly launched 'Friday Projector Program' on 21st September seven field workers of Aqua Welfare Society organized an Awareness Program at this school where the teachers and young students were present along with community people, mainly woman of the household, who use the well water for cooking and drinking. In total 16 families are using this well. The school headmaster requested this A/V program for the students and teachers to get educated on water borne diseases. The school authorities were very hospitable and provided with some refreshments to the field workers who traveled for three hours only to get to this site. The transport cost was Rs. 1000/- (USD10). The headmaster wants the same program again after six months.
