UNICEF: Thailand Avian Flu
High school students known as 'Bird Flu Busters' are helping UNICEF, The Thai government and other partners educate children about bird flu prevention - an important message in rural communities where families have always lived alongside their poultry. UNICEF-supplied educational materials have also been distributed to every classroom in Thailand to raise awareness about the virus. UNICEF, with financial assistance from the Japanese Government, has been on the frontlines of the battle against the spread of bird flu in Thailand since early 2006, providing over $2 million to partners for communication and education activities.
Educating adults is only the first step. The real hurdle is to simplify the complex health messages for children who are more at risk because they often play with birds and their feathers, unaware of the dangers this can pose.
