Happy ‪#‎GlobalHandWashingDay‬ 2015. October 15th is Global Hand Washing Day and we don’t need ‪#‎Ebola‬ to remind us of its importance. As we think about strategies to better handle future global crisis such as Ebola, this day a reminder for NGOs, Lawmakers, education program developers, governments and all stakeholders concerned with #youthdevelopment and #YouthEmpowerment to think about strategic and innovative ways of integrating quality health education in school curriculum and set action plans to achieve set goals.
