Primary 5 & 6 students of PDS International School and PDS School (Secondary Section) recently visited the International Convention Centre for an exhibition on "Healthy Environments for Children".

The exhibitors varied from government and non-government offices involved in the complete safety of our young children and the reduction of accidents and diseases brought about by an unhealthy environment.

The Entomology and Parasitology Unit, as one of the exhibitors, encouraged the students to look into microscopes to study the structures of disease-carrying mosquitoes found in Brunei.

They also explained the initiatives taken by their unit on how to eradicate the existence of harmful mosquitoes.

Another booth exhibited the importance of maintaining a clean set of teeth. Gum and other dental diseases were also explained to the students.

Aside from photos and samples exhibited that day, games and other health related activities also attracted the children's attention.
