Taught at School

  Forewarned is forearmed is on track:

It is widely known that knowledge is power! And the knowledge about health should be received in childhood. On 17 and 20 February EB Fund manager Sasha Avdeeva held a few activities on healthy lifestyle in the Novodvinsk School #3. Threre were 58 pupils of 8-9 y.o taking part in the activities. Children watched an episode from the soviet cartoon “Nu Pogodi!” (I’ll get you!) and discussed it within the talk “No smoking”. The pupils also shared their thoughts and ideas about smoking, remembered even some of their relatives, as this bad habit is widely spread in our society. Here are a few comments from our pupils:

   «My mum smokes and when she comes to help me with my homework there is smell of cigarettes».

   «My brother goes to have a cigarette to the next room but smoke leaks in my room which is very unflattering”.

   «When there is somebody smoking next to me I want to cough».

   «There is no one smoking in my family!»

   «I’m doing sports and not going to ruin my health!»

   Smoking in the family is a serious issue which should not be underestimated. When parents are smokers the chances that their child will be smoking is very high.

  That’s why the knowledge we shared with this children will be very important in the future.
