1-minute Speech on Global Handwashing Day
Ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls, let’s talk about something we do every day. Let’s talk about washing our hands. October 15 is a special day. It’s Global Handwashing Day. Now, you might wonder, why do we need a day for handwashing? It’s as simple as 1, 2, 3, right?
Let me tell you, it’s more than just washing hands. It’s about health and happiness. When we wash our hands with soap and water, we fight off germs. These germs can make us sick, very sick. So, washing hands isn’t just about being clean. It’s about staying healthy, staying strong.
Now, think about this. Not everyone in the world has soap and clean water. Many people get sick because they can’t wash their hands properly. Global Handwashing Day is a day to think about them. It’s a day to understand that handwashing is not a luxury, but a basic need.
On this day, we remind the world of this need. We tell everyone, everywhere, that clean hands save lives. We work together to make sure that everyone, no matter where they live, can wash their hands. We ask our leaders to help. We ask them to make soap and clean water available for everyone.
So, next time you wash your hands, remember this. You’re not just washing away dirt. You’re washing away germs. You’re keeping yourself healthy. And on Global Handwashing Day, we come together to make sure everyone can do the same. Because clean hands mean a healthier world. Thank you.
2-minute Speech on Global Handwashing Day
Ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls, today we talk about something so simple but incredibly important – handwashing. We have a special day for it – Global Handwashing Day. Yes, it’s that important!
First off, let’s understand why we need a day for handwashing. This day is marked on 15th October every year. It’s a day to remind everyone, young and old, rich and poor, that clean hands save lives. It shows us that a small act like handwashing can make a big difference. It’s like a superhero power we all have!
Let me tell you a shocking fact. Many diseases we face today are because of our hands not being clean. Diarrhea, colds, flu, and even some types of eye infections can be caused by dirty hands. That’s why keeping our hands clean is so important. It’s not just about looking good, it’s about staying healthy and keeping others healthy too.
Now, how do we wash our hands right? Well, it’s not just about a quick rinse under the tap. We need to use soap and clean water. We need to scrub our hands for at least 20 seconds. That’s about the time it takes to sing your favorite nursery rhyme or the ‘Happy Birthday’ song twice! Don’t forget to clean between your fingers, under your nails, and your wrists too.
But why soap? Why not just water? Soap is a super weapon against germs. It breaks down the dirt and grease on our hands that water alone can’t clean. When we rinse with water, the soap carries away the germs with it. So, remember to always use soap when you wash your hands.
We also need to know when to wash our hands. We should wash our hands before we eat or prepare food, after using the toilet, when we come home from outside, after playing with pets, and after coughing, sneezing or blowing our nose. Basically, whenever our hands could have come in contact with germs.
Global Handwashing Day is not just about us. It’s about everyone around the world. Many people don’t have clean water or soap. Many don’t know the right way to wash their hands. This day helps to teach people everywhere how to keep their hands clean and why it’s so important.
So today, let’s make a promise. Let’s promise to keep our hands clean, to use soap and to remind others to do the same. Let’s be the superheroes our world needs. Let’s spread the word, not the germs.
Remember, clean hands are powerful. They can stop germs. They can save lives. So, let’s celebrate Global Handwashing Day every day. Because every day is a good day to wash our hands. Thank you.
