HOPE Workshop on Lifestyle Disorder

On 27th of July, 2012 Sameena Shaikh from HOPE visited our school and enlightened us about lifestyle disorders. She said they are caused not by a virus or infection but are mostly self inflicted.. Because of the easy availability of junk food, children face obesity in their teens. It’s a dangerous trend and has to be fought by educating all about the harmful effects of refined flour and sugar. Junk food is addictive.

A film was also shown highlighting what we should go for in food items. Hepatitis B was also discussed. Not many know that it is a silent killer. Free screening and inexpensive vaccine is available in Lucknow.
