DES distributes Health Kits

Dumayat Elementary School- To provide essential personal hygiene items to learners and to advocate health and wellness, the school distributed the health kits provided by the SDO Pangasinan II to all learners of Dumayat Elementary School.

One of the DepEd’s goals is to protect the learners from illnesses in order for them to study well and one of the most effective ways is to practice good personal hygiene through the health kits. Maintaining personal hygiene is necessary for many reasons including: personal, social, health, psychological or simply as a way of life. Hygiene is a universal need so these hygiene kits are distributed to learners. Having proper hygiene practices could prevent many illnesses. This factor was a major component to launch this Hygiene Kit Advocacy. The Health Kit includes toothpaste, toothbrush, and soaps.
