Community designs its own reminder

[Rituu B. Nanda]

In current times, we use technology to remind us - our phones, google calendar and so on. In our project on immunization in Assam in a tiny village, people wanted to remember the date of next vaccination schedule of their babies. What did they do? Read on...

In Village Silamahikhati (Kamrup Rural) where facilitator VHAA- Deepak Nath is facilitating SALT and Community life competence process. As an action point determined by the community, in two homes family members have written the date for next immunization at the entrance of their homes so that the family can see every day and not forget the immunization schedule. Communities have their own indigenous reminders:-)

Thanks Deepak for facilitating and sharing!

Very good idea and effective too.

That's the strength of the individual in community.
