He later visited the Oakville branch where he met with local volunteers. Oryema, who has held the posiâ€" tion of secretary general for the past seven years, said the primary health care program is aimed at teaching communities about "basic things we all must do to have better health." "It‘s difficult (for you) to imagine what it means to live in Uganda. What it means to get water or immuâ€" nization," Oryema told the students. He said the Red Cross currently employs 43 field officers who teach designated community health care workers about basic techniques to improve health conditions in their villages. Health care is also taught in the schools, Oryema added. Money raised by the Red Cross goes to, among other things, providâ€" ing tools and skilled labor to dig communal wells, or to build protecâ€" tive barriers around natural springs to prevent them from being contamiâ€" nated.

Ugandans are also taught about about hygiene, which involves digâ€" ging latrines in their communities and keeping their houses â€" usually made from mud â€" free from animal waste. Oryema said hundreds of Ugandan children die each year because of disease and diarrhea. Many of the deaths could be easily prevented by providing village comâ€" munities access to immunization and clean water, Oryema said. Besides the primary health care program, the Red Cross is also involved in â€"several other areas of "social work" including firstâ€"aid instruction, blood donor clinics and curative drug education. "We teach the village populations about prescription drugs and that they should not rely on quack docâ€" tors who are trying to sell them cerâ€" tain drugs," he said. The society is also heavily involved in an effort to control the spread of the HIV virus and AIDS â€" which afflicts about 800,000 people in Uganda. "We teach communities how to avoid (AIDS), how it‘s contracted and we provide counselling and welâ€" fare for those who are terminally il1," he said.
