On the third day, 22nd March, at Kampung Nanga Setamang woke up as early as 6.30am. Right after breakfast and briefing from the program director the second activity at the village was Rapid Rural Appraisal which was known as RRA begun. RRA was systematic but semi-structured activities carried out in the field by a multidisciplinary team. All the data recorded assisted in formulating and conducting activities for the health promotion. Based on the information obtained from the questionnaires and also observation, we managed to have an idea about the health talk to be conducted in the village. Through this RRA we noted that most of the villagers had hypertension, fungal infection and some serious illness.

On the other hand, another group which led by Amalina and Mohanapriyah conducted the activity with the children at the village very well. They started the event at 4.30pm. About 32 children at the age of 1 year old to 10 years old participated in the program. The children mostly were accompanied by their mothers. The aim was to interact with them. The activity that conducted was coloring and balloon presentation. This event was a success because the group members managed to communicate with the children and joined them in the coloring activity. As a reward, Mohana did the balloon twisting and presented to each and every of the participant. By 6.30pm, the event ended with the balloon presentation. It was an awesome evening with the children. The children had a wonderful time and they were happy to see them smiling all throughout the event.
By 8.00pm they had their dinner prepared by Hartini and Najwa. The last activity of the day was discussion and post mortem session with Dr.Reza. During this session, we gave a brief report about RRAs’ result and summarize our findings. Other than that, we were so touched with the efforts and determination of the children in order to gain knowledge. At the young age they had to stay away from their parent. At 10.00pm, the discussion ended.objectives and goals, and determine the population of interest based on the information gained from the area.
