Hand washing : The simple way to prevent from infection.

Why is hand washing is so important for us ?
Because it is one of the best way to avoid getting sick.
According to the health news of Flu season or H1N1 flu, all schools in Thailand are interesting about the symtoms of their children. I heard many schools and some universities are closed, such as Saint Gabriel’s College, Rajini school, Satriwittaya, Mahidol University. For my school is not closed because no one is affected but we prevent the infection of flu by let them know about the symtoms and prevent from sickness.

One thing that I’m doing and telling to my students is keep your body clean especially your hands. If they don't wash their hands frequently (especially when they're sick), they can spread germs directly to other people. Moreover I tell them know about How to Wash Your Hands Correctly.There's a right way to wash their hands. Following these simple steps to keep your hands clean:
1. Wet your hands with warm water.
2. Use antibacterial soaps or regular soap is fine.
3. Rub your hands together both sides of your hands, your wrist, between your fingers, and around your nails.
4. Rinse well under warm running water for 15-20 seconds.
5. Dry your hands with a clean towel.

Hand washing is the key to prevent the spread of many common infections. I believe that it’s the best way for them keep away from the sickness.
In additions, I have one song for my students for sing and know about the H1N1 flu. That is Wash Your Hands H1N1 song. The melody is from Nobody song, Wonder Girl. You can listen from this E-mail : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YZBeOp_U_Tg&feature=fvw
My students love to sing this song so much and maybe you love it too….
Think about all of the things that you touched today…and don’t forgot to wash your hands too.
Take care
