Dear Friends,
Greetings from Leyte and thank you very much for your continuing support to our project to install communal hand-wash in schools. This project is indeed very effective in preventing the spread of diseases caused by unclean hands especially among school-children. In the schools where we have installed these handwash we found out that prevalence of diseases caused by unclean hands are marginal. Aside from installing the hand-wash we also train pupils and students the proper way to clean their hands using soap and water. During the training we emphasize the transfer of germs from the hands to the food and to the mouth and that this can easily be prevented by proper hand-washing. Our training is 20% classroom type and 80% practical and using the hand-wash that are operational already. This reporting period we were able to train a total of 340 pupils and students and their response is good.
Hoping for continuing support from you.
Very sincerely yours,
Cora
