Today, the 15th of October, is global handwashing
day.
These days, it seems like every day is a global/world day for one thing or the other. There is ''world peace day'', ''world
water day'', ''world HIV/AIDS awareness day'', ''youth day'', ''women's day'', ''children’s day'',
and the highly talked about world "no-bra" day (which is originially meant to be a day set aside for breast cancer
awareness but, thanks to these dudes, it became salacious).
Today has been set
aside for the awareness of another important, but often overlooked, pre-requisite
for disease prevention – handwashing!
Handwashing has been touted by doctors and other health experts as the best self-vaccine. The UNICEF advocate that children should be encouraged to imbibe the practice of washing their hands with soap and water, properly and regularly.
From now henceforth, please make it a habit to wash your hands thoroughly every time. You can never tell, it just could be what would save your, or a loved one's, life someday.
