SCHOOL VISIT (6-11-13)

  It was one of the most wonderful experience of being able to spend time with students of 6th and 7th grade.
15 kms away from our college,we visited the government school of kottankulangara on november 6th as part of our anti alcoholism cammpaign.
all set for the presentation at the school

We interacted with the students, they showed great interest and attention and also shared thier experiences,opinions on anti alcoholism.we also presented the video in which it contained the doctor's message to the youth and other important facts.The staff members and the teachers were very cooperative, they helped us with the speakers and projectors and also  in setting up the lab and the classrooms.
towards the end of the session,the students were made to take a pledge on anti alcoholism,                      and the pledge says:-
ALCOHOL IS INJURIOUS TO HEALTH.
ALCOHOL IS HARMFUL TO ONE'S SELF AND THEIR SOCIETY.
AS STUDENTS,WE WILL PUT OUR BEST EFFORTS IN CREATING AN ALCOHOL FREE PLACE TO LIVE IN. WE ALSO PROMISE TO STOP OTHERS FROM DRINKING AND WE SHALL SPREAD MORE AWARENESS ON THE HARMFUL EFFECTS OF DRINKING.
SAY NO TO ALCOHOL!

Students showed a great amount of enthusiasm and response in taking the pedge with which we ended the presentation.

SAY NO TO ALCOHOL !

YOU CHOSE TO DRINK! YOU DRINK TO DEATH!!


spread the awareness campaign:

The reality of 'course is that the vast majority of those who express concern about the impact of alcohol  in general, of all the age groups are not anti alcoholic.
the team : EKTHA


We are a group of college students and our concern is about the harms caused by the alcohol when inappropriately used,its impact on health and community and about the devastation caused to those who drink, their families and innocent victims of harms when alcohol is excessively used.
The newspapers tell us that  more than a major percent of the police operational issues are related to alcohol  caused accidents.

Our vision was very clear : drinking is not cool! But how to convey this in an effective way?
It was decided that focusing less on the physical effects of drinking, our campaign would divert more in to the loss of social status, how  would any of us feel if we were shunned  by our surrounding society and friends? It  basically plays  around anybody’s greatest fear “lack of coolness”!

As part of our student social responsibility project, we aimed at bringing more awareness among the age group of 13-19.
It gave us a lot of enthusiasm and joy when we were given an opportunity to visit the Amrita Institute of Medical Science  and interact with a couple of patients under the supervision of  the doctor of the             de-addiction department. Talking to the patients about their life experiences brought out the diabolic truths on the harmful effects of alcohol.
AIMS-COCHIN

Our doctor indeed was very helpful and friendly, he gave us a lot more information on the biological aspects of alcohol addicion and deaddction. He also gave us a brief idea on the various  deaddiction methods which included
1)self motivation
2)de-toxification
3) de-addiction &
4) physcho social therapy.
Moreover ,he also talked about the toxic and adverse effects  of alcohol on human health.
LIVER CIRRHOSIS

After gathering all that information ,we set back to our college to discuss and plan further on our campaign which mainly focused on creating awareness among the teenagers .

With a lot of creativity and ideas ,we made posters  and also brought about awareness in our college which infact gained a lot of students’ attention and appreciation.
