Notes
Irene went to maliga to talk about ways in which skin diseases can be prevented.she started with a review of the previous lesson then asked the members ways of prevention. Jasi gave avoid swimming in swamp water, and bathing the water from swamps,mutesi said avoid sharing sponges,and clothes that are in contact with the skin. Several members shared different ideas Irene gave an addition of going for medical treatment and checkup to know the exact type of infection that one has, taking a dewormer as some of the skin infections could be as a result of worms. Irene requested the members to ask questions and after requested the members to inform their friends about the lessons and encourage other members to tun up for the next lessons.
