War On Dengue

A joint group project titled 'WAR ON DENGUE' had been carried out recently to prevent and reduce the occurrences of dengue fever around the Taman Gembira area. 'WAR ON DENGUE' is a community project organized by several parties like RC Bukit Bintang, RC Sri Petaling, RC Metro KL, RC Titiwangsa, RC KL Diraja, RC Shingal, RC Seongnam, RC Guri Jungang. The event took place on the 19th of February 2012 which was a Sunday from morning until early afternoon.

A few of our Interactors have been invited to participate thus, we certainly wouldn't want to miss out on a chance to help the residents (:

At the start of the event, the Interactors had been given a speech about the aim of this project.
Soon after, our fellow Interactors were divided into groups and visited houses to inform the residents about the 'gotong-royong' that was functioning. Local radio DJ Phoebe from MYFM even went into every house to check for mosquito or larvae.

Hardworking Interactors!

There was also a DBKL lorry going around to collect all the rubbish in order to provide a clean environment for the residents (:

Overall, it was a great experience for our Interactors. They were able to learn about the ways to prevent dengue fever from happening and were also able to help out others which was a good deed done (: 

Lastly, we would like to thank the Rotary Club of Seri Petaling for inviting us to participate in this event. We hope that the 'WAR ON DENGUE' Joint Project will turn out to be a huge success.
