To stay healthy is every people’s dreams. It regards to the
importance of health in their life. Many things that they can do to stay healthy,
starts from consume healthy food and drink, have exercise regularly, apply healthy
life style, and keep the environment clean. The easiest and the simplest thing
to keep their environment clean are to keep their hands clean by washing hands
using soap. These following paragraphs will explain about the importance of
washing hands using soap.
First reason is because in most of human daily activity,
they use both of their hands; to hold something, to hug somebody, to shake
others’ hands, and the most important thing, to hold food to be eaten. Healthy food
will be harmful if their hands are dirty, full of bacteria and virus, so the
food will be dirty too. When the food is dirty, it will also be harmful to their
health. By washing their hands using soap, the bacteria and virus in their
hands will be gone. Second reason why they have to wash their hands using soap
is because it can decrease number of diarrhea disease. WHO cited that diarrhea
kills 2.5 million children in the world every year and washing hands using soap
can decrease diarrhea disease until 45 %.
Regard to those reasons, SOSMAS KAMMI UNTAN held a socialization
in TPA (Tempat Pembuangan Akhir) on Jalan Kebangkitan Nasional, Batulayang. Most
of the villagers there are scavengers. Every day, they find used material to be
recycled in the stack of rubbish. It shows that they have higher risk in having
diarrhea disease. Series of activities done there such as Hunting Treasure for
the kids, giving the prize for the winner, washing hands together, and
socializing the importance of washing hands using soap to the villagers there. The
event was being held on April, 24th 2014 started from 07.00 am-
11.00 am.
