NARRATIVE REPORT ON GLOBAL HANDWASHING DAY

S.Y. 2016-2017

Global Handwashing Day is a way to support a global and local culture of handwashing with soap, shine a
spotlight on the state of handwashing in each country and raise awareness about the benefits of handwashing with
soap. Since 2008, Global Handwashing Day has been celebrated annually on October 15 worldwide. The Global Public-
Private Partnership for Handwashing with Soap founded Global Handwashing Day encourages school children, teachers
and families to get involved.

To promote handwashing with soap, the Department of Education implemented the 2016 Global Handwashing
Day Celebration last October 15, 2016 with the theme: “Make Handwashing a Habit!” For handwashing to be effective it
must be practiced consistently at key times, such as after using the toilet or before contact with food. While habits must
be developed over time, this theme emphasizes the importance of handwashing as a ritual behavior for long-term
sustainability. Habit formation is currently a hot topic in behavior change and the water, sanitation, and hygiene sector.
This theme taps into that interest and is also a gateway to discussing what the sector knows about how habits are
formed.” This celebration was enjoined and participated by all schools.

As one of the public elementary schools in the Division of Leyte, Mohon Primary School supported and
conducted this activity. The program started with a prayer and followed by the singing of National Anthem. The
Teachers gave their message and some insights regarding on the is activity.. At 9:00 a.m. we began our hand washing
activity (before recess), recess time and hand washing activity (after recess). Each pupil observed and followed the
proper steps of hand washing.

Mohon Primary School successfully implemented the Global Handwashing Day.
