The Dhaka Times Desk Some special episodes of Sisimpur have been made for hearing impaired children. As part of the initiative, child-friendly sign language has been added to 13 popular episodes of Sisimpur.
This sign language has been newly developed by Sisemi Workshop Bangladesh (SWB), a manufacturer of Sisimpur.
Society of the Deaf and Sign Language Users (SDSL), an organization working for the development of hearing-impaired people, supports the conversion of these Sisimpur episodes into sign language.
September 23 was International Sign Language Day. From this day, Sisimpur's special episodes made in sign language will be aired continuously on Sisimpur's social and digital platforms, which will later be aired on television channels as well.
Regarding this special initiative, Sisimpur Managing Director Mohammad Shah Alam told the media that Sisimpur's goal is to reach every child in Bangladesh. As a part of that we have already published 10 story books of Sisimpur in Braille for visually impaired children and distributed them among the children. This time we are bringing 13 episode special Sisimpur for hearing impaired children. We intend to increase the number of episodes consistently. Thanks to USAID Bangladesh for supporting the production of television program and implementation of other activities.

How to prevent dengue
Dengue is a mosquito-borne viral fever. This fever is different from other viral or bacterial fevers. However, this fever is not contagious in any way. This viral fever can occur alone or in combination with other viruses (chikungunya, yellow fever, Burma forest, flu, respiratory syncytial) and bacteria (pneumococcus).
Dengue fever is divided into two categories depending on the severity of symptoms and fever.
1. Common dengue fever
2. Dengue fever with bleeding.
In the case of common dengue fever, the following symptoms are mainly seen-
1. Sudden high fever lasting 2 to 7 days.
2. Severe headache.
3. Pain behind the eyes.
4. Along with the fever, red rash appears all over the body.
5. Severe pain in whole body as well as back pain.
6. Nausea or vomiting.
7. A rash or red bumps on the skin.
In case of dengue fever with bleeding:
1. Bleeding from nose, mouth or vomiting with high fever within 2 to 48 hours.
2. Fluid accumulation in chest or abdomen along with fever.
If any of these symptoms appear, seek medical attention immediately.
On the other hand
Wait at home for the first 3 days of fever. On the other hand, sponge the whole body with water every now and then. This will reduce the level of fever. Drink enough water and rest. After that, if the fever does not decrease or if it continues to increase after some time, consult a doctor immediately.
Things to do to prevent Dengue:
1. Try to keep the surroundings of the house as clean as possible.
2. If there are flower tubs or broken plastic bottles, can shells, tires or polythene inside the house, clean them quickly and drain the accumulated water from the flower tubs.
3. Spray or fog at least 3 times a week to kill mosquitoes.
4. You can keep mosquito repellent cream with you while going out.
5. After evening, younger and older members of the household should use mosquito nets.
6. Clean up any accumulated rain water, as this is the time when Aedes mosquitoes lay their eggs.
7. On the other hand, you can use mats along with mosquito nets to avoid mosquito infestation.
8. Since Aedes mosquitoes bite during the day, it is important to avoid sleeping with mosquito nets while sleeping during the day. Source: https://dmpnews.org
