OCTOBER IS NOT AN ORDINARY MONTH FOR ALL OF US AND FOR THE REST OF PEOPLE IN OUR ENTIRE UNIVERSE. OCTOBER IS A GLOBAL HAND WASHING MONTH.
WHAT MAKES THIS CELEBRATION SO SPECIAL? HAND WASHING DAY WITH WATER AND SOAP IS THE SIMPLEST FORM YET SO EFFECTIVE TO COMBAT ALL SORT OF GERMS BEFORE IT PENETRATES IN OUR BODY SYSTEM.
PICTURE BELOW IS A SIMPLE MOVABLE HAND WASHING LAVATORY WHERE STUDENTS OF R. L. PASCUAL ELEMENTARY SCHOOL IN BARANGAY BAESA, QUEZON CITY PHILIPPINES WASHED THEIR HANDS BEFORE AND AFTER HANDLING THEIR FOODS.
THE HAND WASHING PROGRAM IS LONG TIME RUNNING IN THE PROVINCES. NOW IT IS BEING IMPLEMENTED IN METRO MANILA BY THE DEPARTMENT OF EDUCATION, DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH, NGO',S, AND CONCERNED CORPORATIONS (THRU THEIR CORPORATE SOCIAL RESPONSIBILITY).
QUEZON CITY IS AMONG THE LOCAL GOVERNMENT UNIT IN METRO MANILA IF NOT THE FIRST WHICH ADOPTED THE PROGRAM.
BUT THROUGH THE "ESSENTIAL HEALTH CARE ORDINANCE" FILED BY COUNCILOR JULIENNE ALYSON RAE. V. MEDALLA WHICH RECENTLY APPROVED BY THE 18TH CITY COUNCIL OF QUEZON CITY, HAND WASHING WITH SOAP AND WATER, TOOTH BRUSHING AND DEWORMING IS NOW BEING IMPLEMENTED IN ALL PUBLIC KINDERGARTEN AND ELEMENTARY SCHOOL.
