14) Modesty and Prudence meet in the
street, Notice that Modesty’s baby is now
as ‘at and healthy as Prudence’s baby. The
2 mothers are happy to see their children so
healthy. They realize that it is because they
are breast fed.
But what about Vanity’s baby?
15) Just Then Vanity arrives. By the black
veil she is wearing, we can tell that her baby
has died. With sad eyes she looks at Modesty’s
child. “How vain and foolish I was not to breast
leed my baby. It cost his life to teach me that
breast is best. If I have another baby, I’ll breast
feed him, believe me!”
16) At the end of the skit, the health worker
comes out with two posters made by the
children of Ajoya. She gives a summary of what
the children found out in their survey.

skit for the entire community?
