That day was cloudless. A
group of children had seen
jogging along the path in the village Wiringgambut. Apparently, that day will
be held CTPS education. What is CTPS? Apparently it
stands for Cuci Tangan Pakai Sabun/ Hand Washing With Soap.
One of the kids who appear to be
serious in that education sessions
are Ailes Wandik. Ailes is one of
Eruwok ADP registered children (RC). If there are questions posed, Ailes
had always raised his hand trying to answer correctly. "Absolutely"
said Sonya WVI staff
that provides education. Ailes aloud correctly answer five steps
in Hand Washing With Soap (CTPS).
The Basic Health Research (Riskesdas) in
2007 found 34% incidence of
ARI and 16% incidence
of diarrhea occurred in children aged 1-4 years. This suggests the need for continuous attention to
the prevention of the spread of
the disease, especially for children.
Hand Washing With Soap (CTPS) is
scientifically proven effective in preventing diarrhea, respiratory infection that has been the cause of child mortality in Indonesia and the world. The
importance of healthy behaviors
Hand Washing With Soap (CTPS) to prevent the spread of infectious
diseases such as diarrhea,
ARI and AI
has been widely understood by the community, even though the
practice is not widely applied in
everyday life. CTPS behavior proved to be an effective means of preventive health efforts.
"The children in this region are
frequently suffered from diarrhea" said Martinus Wenda. Martinus
Wenda is a teacher who served in the village. "Hopefully after this
education the children aware of the importance of washing hands with soap" he continued.
"I was often felt sick
in my belly" Ailes said. "I did not know that wash my hands is
important" he continued. "But
now I already know
and from now on I
will be diligent wash my hands"
said this child of Tarius and
Erus. Ailes also promised us to convey this CTPS messages to his friends at school. Well done Ailes!
