GRAND LAUNCH OF ASHA IN COIMBATORE

80 Teachers From 26 Corporation Schools Trained To Impart Health Education To Students

Dr. Neha Vakharia

After creating a successful Health Module at Bangalore for last 4-5 years, Dr Neha Vakharia, Founder, ASHA Oasis had a grand launch at Coimbatore this month. Oasis facilitated a major positive intervention by the Commissioner Mr Anshul Mishra and Mayor of Coimbatore, to adopt ‘Adolescent Students Health Alternative’ in all the corporation schools of the city. Under this program, about 80 teachers of Corporation School were given training by Oasis Team, who in turn, would impart health education to hundreds of Adolescent Students of Corporation Schools in the city.

Teachers play a decisive role in a child’s life. Especially in schools where children are not from affluent back ground and many lack parents’ involvement in their growth, due to time constraints as also the knowledge, this program would ensure to equip them with basic understanding of physiological and psychological changes that they experience during transition from childhood to adolescence.

Mr Krishnamurthy & Mrs Rajeshwari

Oasis took an important step in involving Government in its Community Health Project and thereby reaching to thousands of students at Coimbatore. A special appreciation goes to Oasis Volunteers, Mrs. Rajeshwari

who is retired Headmistress of a corporation school and Mr. Krishnamurthy, who is retired Head master of a corporation school in Coimbatore. The dynamism, enthusiasm, commitment and sincerity with which they worked is highly inspiring. Also, our volunteers Mrs. Vibha Kapasi and Seema Radia, were instrumental in making this happen. We thank the young, dynamic and highly sensitive corporation Commissioner of Coimbatore, Mr Anshul Mishra for his support and positive response.

At Oasis, we dream to reach to each and every child and give them hope (ASHA) of better health education and more fulfilling life. ASHA is spread in Bangalore, Coimbatore, Thirrupur in South India and Ahmedabad, Surat and Navsari in Gujarat.
