A. Target population Approximately 50 children (7 years old below)

B. Time Frame January 20, 2014 (acquiring stools) January 22, 2014 (dissemination of leaflets)January 29, 2014 (giving the results)

C. Expected Outcome The parents of the children will know whether he/she has infections like salmonella,

parvovirus and coronavirus . The community will now be informed of how, when and why should they take care the

hygiene of their children to prevent acquiring diseases from mishandling it.Fewer children will be affected by the infection.

D. Health and Environment The health of the children is not that good, because some kids have dirty finger nails,

feet and hands. You can see some of them has a huge tummy but has a very thin face and their bone is very prominent. Lack of proper hygiene is very evident because of the insufficient information they know and the discipline in their body that they practice.

The environment is not that clean, you can see trashes everywhere, so it’s not that good in terms of having a healthy condition to the people who we’re living there especially the children, because they play outside without knowing the infections that they might get in their surroundings. Another thing is that, the distance from one house to another is very narrow, which is not good, especially when the person residing to it has a communicable disease, the widespread of disease may occur and also privacy may not be fully claimed with the house spacing they have.

E. Issue that was addressed Availability of children

Children in the community with that 7y/o below are very few in terms of numbers. In addition to that, most of them, during our visit, if they are not sleeping, they are not interested to cooperate with our tasks. Some will give us hopes that they will give us their stools. But after an hour, nothing happens. They are not able to give us their stools.

Shortage of timeOur scheduled time is not that good in collecting stools. Because the mothers have

said to us that most of the children withdraw their stools in the morning. And also since we

didn’t inform them on the first hand that we will collect stools on the day itself, most of us gather few stools.

Hard to negotiateWhen the children hear that we will be collecting their stools, they tend to refuse

our mini request to get some. Some of them are shy others tend to cry. And also the mothers are hard to deal with. They say different excuses for us not to perform our tasks to their children.

F. DocumentationWhen we arrived at the Sapang Libutad last January 20, 2014, we've noticed that the

environment is not that clean, because trashes are everywhere, so it’s not healthy for those people who we’re living in the Sapang Libutad. Some of the people residing to it are nice, some are not that very accommodating and hostile.

We started the mission which is, to collect stools for the fecalysis to the children below 7 years old. Finding children is easy, because they are everywhere, but the problem is, not all of them are below 7y/o and also some of the kids who are in with the age bracket don’t want to participate in our program so we need to find again for our next target.

We’ve come out to a tactic together with the Cabin Queen that we will visit as many children as we can, then we will asked them to give us their stools, we will give them time to collect their own and we will come back an hour later to collect their stools while the Cabin Queen will collect their respective BMI. Some of the children agreed that they will give us their stool and we told them that we will be back in an hour to get their stool. We gather their name, age, gender and phone number. Because after we gather all their stools it will be tested in AUF laboratories by our seniors and we will bring it back to them with the results, so the parents will know if their children have infections.

So after an hour we go back to those children who said that they will give us their stool, but unfortunately most of them didn’t produce their own stool. Four stools have been collected, so 14 of them didn’t participate in our program.

On January 22, 2014, we distributed the leaflets regarding the information about fecalysis and deworming. We discussed to them what fecalysis all about is and how can it be treated by deworming. After which we held feeding program for kids.

On January 29, 2014, one of our group mate, Beverly Lozano, distributed the results of the fecalysis conducted to the children. All of them have infections specifically Ascaris lumbricoides, Trichuris trichiura except for Allyza Lorraine Rivera.

Here are the lists of all the children that have been tested together with the result.
