Community Action - Dengue Prevention - CleanUp • CoverUp • Communicate 💪🏾🦟🚫
Baughers Bay suffers from many cases of dengue fever so this morning, volunteers joined Rotaract Club of Tortola, Environmental Health Division BVI, Green VI and the Dept of Waste Management to empty standing water, treat mosquito breeding sites and clean-up litter (the #1 thing that breeds mosquitos).
Do you want to take ACTION? Contact either Green VI OR the Rotaract Clib of Tortola to be a part of the next Dengue Prevention Clean-up happening in January 2025.

When this happens, it's usually because the owner only shared it with a small group of people, changed who can see it or it's been deleted.
Wonderful interview with Cathy Richards JTV Channel 55 to highlight the Dengue Prevention Community Action Event this coming Saturday in Baughers Bay.
Green VI is partnering with Rotaract Club of Tortola for this campaign of monthly clean-ups and treating breeding sites for the next 4 months.
We are inspired by the Rotaract passion to target dengue fever in their Disease Treatment & Prevention objectives. 👍🏽💚👏🏽

🌠 Christmas is coming! If you're thinking of putting up a tree, why not make it a sustainable one this year?
🎄🗑️ Did you know? Artificial trees last only about 4 years before they end up in landfills - and those bits of plastic, metal and pvc don’t just disappear!
🙌🏽 Let’s get creative this season and make special decorations using what we have around us!
