Finally the day arrives, after several preparations & plannings, we conduct our final physical awareness session on 15th of June 2022. On that day we could be able to follow our agenda & enough number of mothers participated on that day.
Each & every group members completed their responsibilities which they were given. & successfully we did our work.
This week is so rushful week, this is when we had to finish most of our works. since all of our group members are willing to do their jobs with grateful heart, it was easy to finish the works for me. accordingly, as usual we uploaded the videos in our you tube channel.
Followingly, assigned members finish designing poster works. so it was handed over to to the printers for printing.
along with that, after several discussions, with MOH doctor & our madam, we finalized a date for our physical session. it is 15th of June 2022.
After that, we arranged a meeting among our group members & thoroughly planned the agenda & responsibilities of each members on physical session.
Andwe talked with our resource person- dietician to conduct an awareness session on that day. but unfortunately, she was not available on that day. so we went for alternative dieticians. they were also unable to join with us. so finally we talked with our demonstrators those who are well recognized & graduated in Applied Nutrition.
As usual we started this week by uploading our recipe videos in YouTube. followingly, one of our group member assigned to discuss with MOH doctor to allocate a time for our physical session.
parallaly, the members those who are appointed for poster designing works did their works with dedication.
Moreover, as a leader I had the responsibility to discuss with madam for further plannings & her available time for the final session. so I discussed with madam about this & we tried to find solution for all the relevant issues that may occur during the day of our final physical session like, transport issues, time availability, financial issues etc.
This week is quiet interesting. this is when we arranged a meeting among our group members to discuss about our physical session & came to a conclusion regarding the meals we are going to prepare for demonstration on that day.
Since we are lacking of cookers & shortage in LP gas during these days, we had to plan for the meals which can be easily prepared & without the use of cookers as well as, the ingredients for the meal should be come under our budget. so we planned for nutri balls, pumpkin puree, fruit kebab, fish nuggets.
Along with that, another problem arose when we start making the leaflets. if we design leaflets, it must be colorful & at least 50 leaflets need to be printed unless the mothers won't read it. it will go beyond our budget. so as according to our madam's advice we planned to design a poster with colorful images & the content will be as same as we planned for our leaflet works. so finally, we decided to make a very useful poster to the mothers & it will be explained on our physical session & we will hand it over to the MOH- Pannala.
In this week we had to submit our estimated budget to get funded, unfortunately, our budget went above the expected amount. so we had to make some alterations in our plans. so we decided to reduce the cost for recipe book.so we planned to make a leaflet instead of a recipe book which contains enough information regarding nutrition tips, nutrition guidelines, feeding practices etc.
along with that, we did our routine works like, uploading videos in our YouTube channel. moreover, we discussed with madam about our routine works & newly changed idea (recipe book to leaflet )
In this week also we followed our routine works as usual.
We uploaded our videos in our channel with promotional works in whatsapp group as well as statuses.
Continued our translation works for our recipe book & organizing the content.
Moreover, we did some promotional works for our channel by sharing our created posters in common groups.
In this week, we continued uploading videos in our channel along with promotional messages in mother's whatsapp group and whatsapp statuses.
Along with that, I went through the prepared presentation for progression presentation and corrected.
By the time we continue our recipe book works.
In this week we started to upload our recipe videos. we planned to follow an order whle uploading the videos which is the order should be as infants, toddlers & preschoolers. by the time i created attractive message to share in whatsapp group regarding each recipe with the link of the video and shared in the whatsapp group time to time.
Apart from that, we had to come across another work which is getting ready for 8th week progression presentation. so I appointed two of our members to make presentation slides.
while uploading recipe videos we planned to make a recipe book to distribute in the physical session. so we initiate our recipe book works. in that case for me and one of our tamil group member have a great deal of task in translating the recipes in tamil language. we planned to divided the recipes between us and started our translation works.
This is when we talked with MOH doctor regarding our physical session after submitting our permission letter & asked contact details of Pannala mothers. but unfortunately, we could not obtain such information.
By the time each of our members created their recipe videos to upload in you tube channel. each member took responsibility to prepare 2 videos. i choose to make chickpea falafel & fish pinwheel.
As group leader, I created a whatsapp group for the mothers those who participated in in our telephone survey regarding the interest on you tube channel. we thought that t will be helpful to update the mothers regarding our uploaded video time to time.
Once we
finish adding mothers to our whatsapp group, I shared our 2 promotional videos in 2 days gap followed by one another with welcoming message in all 3 languages.
This week was quiet interesting! in this we put many efforts. this is when we contact with dietician and ask an appointment for our physical awareness session. moreover one of our member talked to Pannala MOH office to introduce ourselves and our plan. they are very happy to join with us in physical awareness session & they asked to come & meet the MOH doctor and discuss further regarding our plan.
in other side, for our social media channel we needed to do a telephone survey among mothers of age under five from different districts regarding our social media selection. so for this one of our member created questionnaire & another one created google form as further. And did our telephone survey and through our google form we could be able to analyze the final results of our survey. according to our survey most of the parents are okay with you tube channel recipe videos.
in the other hand we had to discuss about our recipe video making. so we had to arrange a zoom meeting to talk regarding recipe plans and video formats. soon after the next day, I created a word document to fill everyone's preferance recipes. within 2 days we could be able to complete the document
by the time, we wrote a permission letter to meet MOH officer and one of our member created some posters for our you tube promotions.
Its some what confusing days😝, because we came across several other comments from madam after our presentation. as a group leader I did the presentation 😀. According our past 4 weeks of work, madam asked us to design a new logo instead of our old one. all of our members send their own designed logo. I am also🙈. then we sent all of our logos to sent to our madam for selection. my one was selected. finally we finalized it. then madam asked us about our entire plan line up. we manage to send it according to our plans & ideas. after the comments & correction of madam, we arranged a Whats App call for further planning and corrections. finally we ended up with several other good plans. this time we have risen with new energy !!!💪
Finally the day arrives, after several preparations & plannings, we conduct our final physical awareness session on 15th of June 2022....
