(ĐN)- On November 10, the School Sanitation Festivals were organised in Nhan Nghia Primary School and Chu Van An Junior High School in Nhan Nghia commune, Cam My district, Dong Nai province. This is the first time this activity was implemented in two piloted schools in Dong Nai province. The event attracted the enthusiastic participation of more than 1,300 students in the two selected schools. The festival programme included eight main parts: meeting, musical performance, knowledge quiz, hand-washing and toilet cleaning competition; drawing contest; sanitation forum, and dialogues with local leaders.

In the dialogue with local authority, the students also showed their concerns about forest protection, the river pollution problem, the global climate change problem and so on.

This festival is a useful playground for children as it not only helps to improve their knowledge and practice on sanitation and hygiene but also to raise their skills of teamwork and responsibility for community. The model of School Sanitation Festival will be replicated on a provincewide scale in the coming time.
