  • Involve any health workers - nurses, doctors, clerks, domestics - in a Song & Dance group.
  • Build up a programme of songs about common problems, why they are there, and how to solve them.
  • Use the songs at meetings, when the people, of all ages, love to join in.
  • Then develop with them their own songs about their local concerns.
  • This is a really popular, very enjoyable, and most effective way to spread messages about health.
Idini near All Saints, n.d.
