Via UNICEF USA – Did you remember to wash your hands?
Posted on October 28th, 2009.
“Did you remember to wash your hands?” This is a question most of us heard thousands of times throughout our childhoods. Hand washing is a routine we pick up at an early age, drilled into us by constant reminders from relatives, teachers, and catchy TV jingles. By adolescence, it becomes an engrained habit that we eventually pass down onto our own children. Most of us have never stopped to consider why this simple act—washing our hands with soap and water—is so important. The truth is that thorough hand washing can save the lives of millions of children each year.”
