Exhibition Project by Clara Schlumberger

Hello my name is Clara Schlumberger and I have been working on my
Exhibition for almost 9 weeks. I have been studying about Tuberculosis
which is a communicable disease.

TB can be eradicated with easy steps we can follow ...

Well what is TB ? Tuberculosis is a bacteria that you get by not getting vaccinated,
not washing your hands or cleaning regularly used surfaces,
and when your not wearing a mask when your close to sick people.
The bacterium travels through your body to your lungs and sometimes to other
week places to your body when you don’t have a healthy and
strong immune system.

The action that I took to raise awareness is; an infographic, and this
Dongdaewon blog and I might be spending a couple hours at Eugene Bell.
Education is a big part of TB because if you don’t know what it is
and how you get it or how to take your medicine then you probably will get it or if
you already have it you will get MDR-TB. (MDR is when the vaccine does't work and you
immune to it and normal TB medicine). Did you know that almost 4,000,000 people
already died because of communicable diseases ?

Another Fact is that in the Philippines a High School got a 20 minute lesson about
TB and the baseline knowledge of TB was  65.22%  and went up to 86.83%.

And that's a wrap everyone ...

Congratulations Everyone,
Approximately 50 million was raised this year for Dongdaewon. It definitely was a team that pulled it together, so I would like to thank you all for all your hard work this year. Your creativity, willingness to serve and desire to go the extra mile was amazing. 
The money will go towards helping our nine patients continue or finish their treatment and we might even be able to pick up a new patient.
Your money definitely helps save lives.
Thanks again
Jo Bigwood
