Ebola has come to Nyamboyo Village as a result of some community members who made family visits to Uganda. No one is to blame. Through the Covid experience, we have come to understand how diseases spread.
Unfortunately, we have lost some community members. But while we were shocked at first, we are not panicking. Instead, our community is being responsible. Our students have all received instruction on the facts of Ebola and how to prevent it. Thanks to the Ugandan government, we were able to create a fact sheet in Kiswahili for them to post in their homes.
Below is the sheet, in English. It explains how Ebola is passed and how to prevent it.
We are proud of our community and their cooperation in observing health precautions. School was closed for a week but we came back on Monday. We’re observing Covid health protocols by masking and sanitizing and will continue this for the near future.
Life can be frightening but once you wrap your head around the facts, you can take positive action. That’s what we’re proud to be teaching our students.
