What is H1N1 (Swine flu)?
Influenza A H1N1 (referred to as "Swine flu") is a new influenza virus causing
illness in people. This virus is spreading from person-to-person, much the same
way that regular seasonal influenza viruses spread. This virus was originally
referred to as "swine flu" because laboratory testing showed that many of the
genes in this new virus were very similar to influenza viruses that normally occur
in pigs in North America.
Is the H1N1 virus contagious?
The H1N1 virus is contagious and is spreading from human to human.
What are the signs and symptoms of this virus in people?
The symptoms of this new H1N1 flu virus in people are similar to the symptoms of
seasonal flu and include fever, cough, sore throat, runny or stuffy nose, body
aches, headache, chills and fatigue. A significant number of people who have
been infected with this virus have also reported diarrhea and vomiting.

PORTFOLIO ON ENVIRONMENT & ETHICAL REFLECTIONS
Intercultural competence as defined by Johannes De Gruyter (2011) the ability to understand and respond to
cultural difference in increasingly sophisticated ways.
This ability shows itself in three aspects: it is about the changes of an individual’s knowledge (cognition), attitudes (emotions) and skills (behaviour) in order to enable a positive and effective interaction with members of other cultures, both abroad and at home.
Learning Skills we need to develop among our students
a. informational skillsb. visual skillsc. intercultural skillsd. linguistics skillse. crisis skillsf. environmental literacyg. ethical literacy
”The teaching you give the young is not a mere matter of words, but accompanied by a great abundance of grace for those who respond to it.” – John Baptist de La Salle
