If an eye is hurt in an accident, cover the eye with something clean and
get help from a health worker fast.
In a circle, the children say in turn what they learned and enjoyed about this session.
Repeat the message and the children to share it with classmates, friends and family. Ask the Good Questions in their families:
Do you know anyone who injured their eye? What happened?
If dust or dirt gets into an eye, have the person close their eyes and move their eyes around from side-to-side and up and down. Then, while you hold their eyelid open, have them look up and down again. This makes the eye produce tears that can wash out the dirt.
If you cannot get the dirt out easily send them for medical help.
Zara had a little sister called Ayanna. One day Ayanna was playing in the kitchen. When no one was watching her, she took the top from a bottle of cleaning liquid and some of the liquid splashed onto her eye and she started screaming. Zara fetched her mother quickly and together they rinsed Ayanna’s eyes with fresh water for 20 minutes. Then Ayanna had a hug from mother and sister and she was playing again soon after.
