Wash Your Hand With Soap

This is the first day I know that there is a “Global Handwashing Day” from a mailing list at my campus. I think it’s interesting because the website said that this could prevent diarrheal and respiratory infections that have caused a lot of children death in developing countries. Hand washing is a really simple thing to do and inexpensive, but still it’s hard for some people to do it as a daily routine.

Quoting from the official website.

A vast change in handwashing behavior is critical to meeting the Millennium Development Goal of reducing deaths among children under the age of five by two-thirds by 2015.

It’s really incredible that reducing two-third of children death could be done in 5 years only by doing the hand washing as a routine.

Well, I think it’s not just children that should do the hand washing. Even adults also need to do it. It’s for our own health. So, hand washing? Why not?
