Hand washing is the act—of cleaning one's hands with or without the use of water. New York­Wednesday, October fifteenth, is the first Global Hand Washing Day. Activities are planned in more than twenty countries to get millions of people in the developing world to wash their hands with soap. Experts say people around the world wash their hands but very few use soap at so­called critical moments. These include after using the toilet, after cleaning a baby and before touching food. 本ppt来自：千教网(www.well1000.cn)

Global Hand Washing Day is the idea of the Public­Private Partnership for Hand Washing with Soap. The goal, they say, is to create a culture of hand washing with soap. The organizers say all soaps are equally effective at removing disease­causing germs (病菌). They say the correct way to wash hands is to wet your hands with a small amount of water and cover them with soap. Rub it into all areas, including under the fingernails. Then, rise well under running water. Finally, dry your hands with a clean cloth. 本ppt来自：千教网(www.well1000.cn)

The Partnership says soap is important because it increases the time that people spend washing. Soap also helps to break up the dirt that holds most of the germs. And it usually leaves a pleasant smell, which increases the likelihood that people will wash again. It also says washing with soap before eating and after using the toilet could save more lives than any medicine. It could help reduce cases of diarrhea (痢疾), which is the second leading cause of child deaths, killing more than one and a half million children a year, by almost half. 本ppt来自：千教网(www.well1000.cn)
