At 9:15 am, a briefing was conducted torun through with the volunteers the procedure to follow when visitingthe residents. Finally, we did a role-play to simulate a pair of volunteersvisiting 2 residents.Once the volunteers were clear on their tasks they were told to divideinto groups of 2, with a variety of language skills in each group. We hadpre-allocated the households to 19 groups of volunteers, with eachgroup assigned around 12 households.At 9:45 am, the volunteers collected their logistics. Each group wouldget a reusable bag containing the resident info sheets, 3Rs booklets,additional reusable bags, a lanyard, a clipboard, reminder medals,stickers.The volunteers then fanned out to the various blocks.
