My Experience on field work project on causes of Hypertension



During Three month Field work practicum we group of seven were placed in very remote place. The village was known as Thuloonggang. Which was located in the middle of jungle.



Since we were given task to do one project and a produce report from the assigned village after being with the villagers for a month we came to know that villagers are suffering from hypertension and was face difficulties in lowering the level of blood pressure. So thinking that something could help them our group had carried out a research project on The Causes of High blood pressure among the villagers. 



We found it was necessary to do research on the topic and also create awareness on it. 
Resources we used for the first round were questioners, books, pen, pencils and went door to door dividing ourselves into different directions, asking some questions on their dietary like ( amount of salt, oil, alcohol and the illness).


There wasn't any involvement of budget since it didn't require to do so we were already in the village and directly able to communicate with people but we had purchased ( markers, chart papers, tape) and all inorder to convey the message we used those tools to illustrate the causes and spread awareness among the villagers .
After collecting data through face survey and interview we are able to recognize the root cause of hypertension. 

People they had been consuming more meat, oil, salt, and alcohol that cause high level of blood pressure. Although they are trying to keep fit by consuming some jungle medicines that can lower blood pressure they kept on having more salt and meat. So after knowing that we made poster on various disease along with Hypertension like causes, symptoms, treatment and we also advocate them about the COVID too.


 Since we were frank with everyone in the village we didn't face difficulties while advocating them. Villagers do believe and practice what we shared. And they are very supportive.
After conducting the research project in the village many villagers are benefitted from project. Also I was able to gained new knowledge on how to conduct the project.
 
If we don't have knowledge of principles and characteristics conducting project we won't be able to complete or end the project well and won't be able to get there result. As. Group we did cooperate togather and help each other to make the project achievable, making the project beneficial to the people and complete on time.

My first Interview experience at BKF

Today I had my first interview at Bhutan Kidney Foundation for the post of enumerator for one month. I was excited about the opportunity, but also nervous about the interview process. When I arrived, I realized that there were 17 other interviewees, which added to my anxiety. As the interview began, I found myself struggling to express my thoughts into words. I felt like I wasn't able to convey my skills and experience as effectively as I would have liked. Despite my nerves, I tried my best to answer each question to the best of my ability. After the interview, I couldn't help but feel a little disappointed in myself. I felt like I could have done better, and that my nerves got the best of me. However, I reminded myself that this was just one interview, and that there are many other opportunities out there. Looking back, I realize that I may have been too hard on myself. It's completely normal to feel nervous during an interview, especially when there are many other candida...

Social workers 🌿

This poem is composed after I return to this college from rural field practicum in 2021.   hope you will enjoy reading!                          A beacon of hope   Amidst the mountains high and grand, Lies a land of peace and serenity, But in its valleys deep and wide, The pain and suffering are plenty. I see the people of Bhutan, Living simple lives with contentment, Yet struggling to access basic needs, Denied by underdevelopment. As I step onto my social work course, My heart swells with determination, To help these kind souls rise and shine, To give them a voice and representation. I plan to work with communities, Listening and learning from their stories, Empowering them with skills and knowledge, To overcome their struggles and worries. I want to help create a world, Where every person has equal chance, To lead a life full of dignity, And live in peace and harmony dance. Though the journey is long and ...

Article review ✨

 The study on the situation of violence against women in Bhutan by NCWC provides insightful information on the state of women's safety in the country. However we could find different viewpoints on the study's findings. On the negative side, the study reveals alarming rates of intimate partner violence and sexual violence against women in Bhutan. For instance, out of the 1,000 women surveyed, nearly 63% reported experiencing at least one form of physical or sexual violence by their partners. Such findings suggest that the government and relevant stakeholders need to take urgent action to address the issue. Failure to do so perpetuates a culture of violence against women and makes it difficult for women to speak out against the abuse.  On the positive side, the study sheds light on the extent of violence against women and provides a much-needed platform for advocacy. The National Commission for Women and Children (NCWC) has taken proactive measures to address the issue, such as ...
