We are delighted to announce the continued success and expansion of our School Health Education Programme at Fatanje Basic School, where we are nurturing a culture of wellness and proactive health practices among students. This initiative underscores our unwavering commitment to empowering young minds with life-saving knowledge and habits that transcend the classroom and benefit entire communities.
A Legacy of Compassionate Leadership
This transformative programme traces its origins to the visionary Dr. Gyaltsen, whose dedication to community health laid the foundation for this endeavor. Driven by a belief that health education is pivotal to holistic development, Dr. Gyaltsen’s initiative has blossomed into a sustained effort to equip students with essential hygiene skills and awareness.
Generosity Across Borders: A Gift of Health
Central to this programme’s impact are the personal hygiene kits generously sponsored by Mr. Ashal Tamang Ghising, a former Health Assistant at our hospital, now residing in Denmark. Mr. Ghising’s unwavering support despite the distance exemplifies global solidarity and a deep-rooted commitment to his homeland’s well-being. Each kit, thoughtfully curated with soap, toothpaste, toothbrushes, and sanitary items, symbolizes hope and practical care for every child.
Education in Action: Expert-Led Sessions
The programme’s latest session, expertly facilitated by Mr. Dipak Rai (Health Assistant), brought learning to life through an interactive workshop on handwashing techniques and personal hygiene.
- The critical link between hand hygiene and disease prevention.
- WHO-recommended steps for effective handwashing.
- Daily routines for oral, skin, and environmental cleanliness.
- Safe water practices and waste disposal methods.
Our Gratitude
We extend our deepest appreciation to:
- Dr. Gyaltsen for his pioneering vision.
- Mr. Ashal Tamang Ghising for his altruistic sponsorship from afar.
- Mr. Dipak Rai for his tireless educational outreach.
- School administrators and teachers for championing this cause.
- The resilient students of Fatanje Basic School, who embody the change we wish to see.
Together, you are sowing seeds for a healthier, more empowered generation. As this programme grows, we reaffirm our pledge to advance health equity—one child, one lesson, and one handwash at a time.
Investing in health today, for a thriving tomorrow.
