Good health is everyone's prayer. It is every man's desire to have a healthy mind and body. Health is wealth they say. And I believe that it is very essential to everyone. But, does achieving good health possible if you are living near the dumpsite?
A lot of families are livin near the dumpsite here in our place. Though, they knew about what would be the effects of living in a dirty and stinky environment, they still chose to inhabit that area because they have no choice at all. They don't have there own lot to build there own house.
Just like this resident that we have interviewed, she said that her family is constantly experiencing coughs and fever due to their environment.
Some of the families living here experienced dengue and diarrhea.
As much as they want to transfer, but there is no place for them. The government of the place already have housing projects for them, but it can't accommodate them all.
Some of the residents here are already used to their environment. They say that they are just contented with what they have. But if there is an opportunity, like, housing and relocation, they might move in.
Our mission here is to spread awareness in this community. It is our task in school to help the residents here in maintaining healthy lifestyle.
Being healthy is what we want. We can't do what we want to do if we are sick. So, let us start cleaning our environment and specially our home to keep us from harmful bacterias.
Sincerely
