UNICEF correspondent Steve Nettleton reports on progress being made to raise community awareness about avian influenza in Indonesia.
You are watching UNICEF Television.
00:00:00
Following a muddy trail behind his home in central Java, Wiatno returns to his chicken
00:00:05
farm.
00:00:10
It is now a dark and empty place, very different from the days it housed more than one thousand
00:00:13
chickens.
00:00:18
Wiatno had his entire flock slaughtered in 2005 after avian flu spread rapidly through
00:00:19
this coop.
00:00:25
The culling was a financial blow.
00:00:26
He says many people here see avian flu only as an economic nuisance, not a life-threatening
00:00:29
concern.
00:00:35
Most of the community takes it for granted, he says, because they think avian flu only
00:00:36
strikes chickens and not people.
00:00:42
But in terms of human cost, Indonesians have suffered worst of all.
00:00:46
More than 90 people have been infected with avian flu.
00:00:51
On average, three out of every four with the illness have died.
00:00:54
UNICEF and its partners have been working to raise awareness of the dangers of avian
00:01:02
flu.
00:01:06
In addition to TV and radio spots, UNICEF works with local communities in what is called
00:01:07
Participatory Learning and Action, or PLA.
00:01:12
Community members compose songs, dramas and posters that locals can relate to.
00:01:16
Srira Hayu is a kindergarten teacher, but she also tends to a cage of chickens at home.
00:01:25
She believes the community approach is working.
00:01:30
The PLA has an impact, she says.
00:01:34
One thing I noticed is that if we put into practice those messages we learn from the
00:01:39
PLA, it will actually help the economy.
00:01:42
The community has learned to identify the symptoms of bird flu and to report it immediately.
00:01:46
But many still say they don't know enough.
00:01:53
Even just down the road from Srira Hayu's home, chickens and ducks roam freely.
00:01:57
Their owners show little concern about their poultry getting infected.
00:02:02
I don't really know anything about avian flu, she says.
00:02:06
I just know it's contagious.
00:02:10
I'm not worried about it.
00:02:12
All my chickens look healthy.
00:02:14
Appearances that may be deceiving and potentially deadly.
00:02:16
In Sragan, Indonesia, this is Steve Nettleton reporting for UNICEF Television.
