Eliminate Week
During the week of May 4 to May 8, Key Club members participated in Eliminate Week, in order to raise awareness about Maternal and Neonatal Tetanus (MNT). Through the week I, along with other Key Club members, posted on our social media depending on what the activity is that day. Each day had a different theme to it in order to spread awareness in different ways.
The first day was Make it Known Monday. Members create graphics to post on their social media accounts to spread awareness about MNT. Members were able to make up to 4 graphics. I made graphics that informed about the impacts of the Eliminate Project and how it began. The second day was Toss it Out Tuesday. Members cleaned their rooms to spread awareness. I cleaned up my work table and reorganized it. The third day was E-Lemon-Ate Day. Members took on the challenge to eat a lemon to e-lemonate MNT. I ate a slice of lemon and posted it on my Instagram story. The fourth day Throwback Thursday. Members posted a picture of themselves when they were younger. This was to spread awareness that $1.80 provides a vaccine to help a mother and her child. The last day was Fundraiser Friday. Members posted a picture of themselves with the spare change that they were going to donate to Maternal and Neonatal Tetanus. Throughout the week, Western Key Club members were able to spread awareness about Maternal and Neonatal Tetanus to many people inside and outside of Key Club. More people were able to understand what MNT is about and why they should support it!
