Re: Global Handwashing Day - External Briefing Call on Oct 2

Hello Handwashing Champions,

Global Handwashing Day is coming October 15! This year’s theme, “Clean Hands – a recipe for health,” emphasizes the links between handwashing, and proper food hygiene and nutrition. Connecting handwashing to an existing habit – like a meal – is a great way to form proper hygiene habits. This Global Handwashing Day, we remind everyone to make handwashing a part of every meal.

Join us for the second Global Handwashing Day external briefing call on Tuesday, October 2, at 10AM EST, 2PM GMT, 5PM EAT, or 7:30PM IST. This call is intended to give our partners and celebrants a chance to share their Global Handwashing Day plans and provide additional tools, resources, and ideas as GHD approaches.

We look forward to having you join us. Please register here: bit.ly/2NlgPam . Dial-in instructions will be provided for all registered participants. Please direct enquires to This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it.

Kind Regards,
