Benefits of hand washing

I was able to witness a hand washing event last month.


Present during the event were representatives from the UNICEF and the Departments of Health and Education.


The education agency was represented by no other than its Secretary, Honorable Datu Dr. Jesli A. Lapus.


Kids from the Fort Bonifacio Elementary School were taught how to properly wash their hands. It is said that hand washing can effectively prevent the occurrence of the five most common diseases that cause children to miss school.

A healthy child is a happy child. A healthy child is always in school. A happy child enjoys learning.
