National Vitamin "A+" Campaign | 20 February 2023
I was inspired to volunteer at the National Vitamin A+ Campaign as a Rover Scout because I believe every child deserves a healthy start. Ensuring access to essential vitamins is crucial, and being a Rover Scout has instilled in me the values of helping others and making a positive impact in my community.
As a Rover Scout, I executed the National Vitamin A+ Campaign by distributing vitamin A capsules to children at various centers in Dhaka and Savar. I performed my duties with care and respect at the Maternal and Child Health Training Institute in Azimpur, Dhaka. Over two days, we provided capsules to over 350+ children and shared health information with their parents, ensuring no child was left behind.
From the National Vitamin A+ Campaign project, I learned the importance of organized teamwork, effective communication, and community engagement in public health initiatives. I gained valuable experience in coordinating logistics, interacting with diverse groups of people, and educating parents about health benefits. This project reinforced the impact of volunteer efforts in improving community health and highlighted the need for ongoing public health education and support.
