SINGAPORE - A blushing potato has been adopted as the new health mascot for Paya Lebar Methodist Girls School .
The girls struggled to juggle the project with other commitments but group member Turaba Alam, 15, said they took up the challenge because "we want people to make this change". The school is among the first of around 20 that NHG is partnering to promote health literacy and awareness, and the campaign has shown promising results since its launch in January.
Teachers say that students have been receptive, turning out for the health events even though they are not compulsory, while the school's drink stall vendor said he sees two or three students switching to low sugar drinks each week.
...That’s a great idea.....well done!!
