WRD video from FAO

  • Community News

A video of WRD 2010 events in Sierra Leone made by the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) is available on YouTube. It tells the story of Sierra Leoneans' enormous efforts to fight rabies in their own communities, with the help of FAO and US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.

It shows educational activities held to mark WRD, songs developed to raise awareness about rabies and talks about the Animal Health Club program which educates school children about rabies and how to care for dogs. It also features very moving interviews with the families of children who have died because
of rabies.

The video is available in a long and a short version in English, and in long and short versions with subtitles in French.
