Sharing belated WG7 report and presentation- would love to hear from members on GHD, 15 October 2016!

Re-sending to WG7 members!

Dear WG7 members,

October 15th was Global Handwashing Day! We have discussed a lot about the importance of raising the profile of sanitation and hygiene in schools. This day provides an excellent opportunity to do just that!

I would love for members to share some of the innovative Global Handwash day activities in the efforts of creating the culture of cleanliness that we have often talked about.

I am also including rather belatedly, the draft report and presentation from the WG7 session held in Stockholm in late August!

Three things stood out for me in that meeting related to WinS:
Firstly, the issues often not talked about are corruption in general and vandalism by even parents in some cases to undermine WiNs;
Secondly a comment that, 'immediately you come into a school as an outsider, there's an expectation of getting money';
Thirdly, kids in the forefront- with excellent global examples of the need to plan and engage with children- which is discussed in theory but rarely actually done!


All the best from Hanoi,
