This past fall, we organized Oral Hygiene Day for Tuofu Experimental Primary School! Every child received a personal dental exam, lessons on the importance of proper care, and free toothbrush and toothpastes to take home. More importantly, we provided free dental fillings for 200 kids! During the activity, 7 health workers from Zhimei Oral Health provided free dental examinations and were given important do's and don’ts for protecting teeth. Kids were very excited about their new toothbrushes and held on to their dental kits tightly. Many of these kids come from poor migrant families and do not regularly brush their teeth. Just a simple intervention like today can make a real difference!

Love People Social Worker Center organized a visit Henan Museum by cooperating with Traveling Family Club! Social workers of Loving People led 25 families through the tour. During the visit, some parents acted as guides and explain the exhibitions to the other people. The younger children showed particular interest in antiques. When the tour guide asked what the main building of the museum looks like, some children said it was like a pyramid, some said like a cave and some said like a tripod. It was a wonderful bonding experience for the parents and children and many expressed interest in participating in such activities in the future. For many of these low-income families, family outings are rare and far between. Parents are so preoccupied with work and their state of finances. This free activity offered a chance for everyone to take a break and enjoy each other's company.

This past month, we partnered with Zhengzhou People's Hospital and delivered a public health campaign to increase education about high blood pressure for elderly people. In many more remote towns, people at high risk of disease have little access to information on treatment and prevention. Before the lecture, we had our health practitioners measure everyone's blood pressure, so they have a better understanding of how the information will relate in their individual situation. We distributed informational pamphlets and other reading material and had several experts explained the causes of blood pressure and the effect it has on our health. We ended the class with an informative Q&A since many people in the audience asked questions, particularly on their current health. Our lecturers provided some suggestions for treatment and lifestyle changes. In general, proper diet, balanced nutrition, moderate exercise and minimal use of cigarettes and alcohol are all key factors in maintaining a healthy heart.

In order to increase pubic awareness on flu prevention, social workers of Jinshui Social Service Center participated in experiential activity held by the hospital. We had employees and members of the public gather on the first floor and explain procedure of processing patients. There is a new online registration system that the hospital is trying to implement and this was a great opportunity to provide training on some of the ins and outs of the new processes. Then, we had medical experts introduce information on prevention and treatment of common infectious diseases. The presentation allowed people who are not health care practitioners to take a more proactive approach to handling their health care.
