Question: How would you improve hand washing techniques ?

Thanks for your question buddy.

The technique for proper hand washing does already exist, it is how doctors and nurses wash their hand before they treat and look after patients. But why should it just be those people who wash their hands like that, surely the people who cook our food in restaurants, or handle food in supermarkets and even you should know how to effectively wash your hands to limit the chance of infecting yourself.

Sadly there are large numbers of people who do not wash their hands after going to the toilet and there are plenty of nasty germs that could make themselves or those around them ill.

Whenever I wash my hands I make sure I use soap and also sing the happy birthday song in my head twice to ensure I have washed them for long enough.

But I want to get out there and teach the school children in a fun way how to wash their hands properly so that everyone can reduce the chances of making them ill which is why I need people to vote for me so that I can use the money to go out there and turn you all into hand washing champions.
