The activity was about 500 primary school children and 150 teachers under the auspices of the Muhammadiyah melaksanakna rally promo for socializing join hand-washing habits in place of wrought-which is estimated to be the spread of flu and infectious diseases such as directly at the roadside food stalls, restaurants, cafes, and health centers.
In line with Tjandra, according to doctors Handrawan Nadesul, dozens of diseases transmitted through dirty hands can be prevented by washing hands. Diarrhea alone has killed two million children under five every year and became the number two cause of infant mortality. This figure may actually be reduced by half if we teach hygiene to familiarize yourself early on hand washing with soap.
"Wash hands effectively to prevent diarrhea, respiratory infection (upper respiratory tract infection), intestinal worms, bird flu, eye infections, up to A-H1N1 virus," said a doctor in the celebration Handrawan World Handwashing Day being held by Unilever in Downstream Dam SD 12 Pagi, New York (15/10).

Various surveys have also found that the habit of washing hands with soap Indonesian society is still low.
The UN declared 2008 as International Sanitation year and set October 15 as the Day Global Handwashing (HCTPS). Indonesia is one of 85 countries in the world who do wash your hands in unison today.
With the theme "Clean Hands Save Lives", today held a variety of campaign events HCTPS warning by mobilizing thousands of children across Indonesia. Children rated as very important agents of change. Besides being more open to new ideas, kids also can be an effective messenger to the family and the environment around it.
