EOTO organizes Global Handwashing Day (GHD)
15th October, 2012
Global Handwashing Day (GHD) is a campaign to motivate and mobilize millions around the world to wash their hands with soap. It takes place on October 15 of each year. The campaign is dedicated to raising awareness of hand-washing with soap as a key approach to disease prevention. The theme for Global Hand washing Day’s inaugural year was Focus on School Children. The members pledged to get the maximum number of school children hand washing with soap in more than 70 countries.
On this occasion Each One Teach One Charitable Foundation along with Shangri-La Hotel organized an awareness program in Shishuvihar School, Dadar in their assembly hall. Shangri-La Hotel installed 6 soap dispensers in the washrooms of the school and also demonstrated to the 250 school children and their teachers “how to wash hands”.
The purpose of the program was to create a healthy habit in the children contributing to their health.
