KGB-HLF carried out a training session in the fight against coronavirus at Grace of God Philanthropic Foundation Orphanage at Bunduma, Buea in Cameroon. The orphans were successfully trained to produce their own hand sanitizers, disposable nose mouth masks, and proper handwashing with water and soap as well as social distancing.
A 20 minutes talk on “STOP COVID-19” provided the children with essentials for the prevention and control of the virus.
A Practical session helped to engage the orphans.
Our recent activities helped the children, while they were competent, dedicated team teaching the children on how to take the measures put in place by the WHO into practice.
