In Lao PDR, Dr. Tomokawa collaborated with staff from the Faculty of Education at the National University of Laos, the Champasak Provincial Education Department, and the education and health departments of Kon and Munlapamok districts to provide training on how to create skits to educate villagers in epidemic areas and primary and secondary school students about OV prevention.
