Washing Hands is a crucial part of personal hygiene.We make it compulsory to wash hands and feet after coming from outside,we wash our hands with soap before having food.These are some important rules every person needs to follow to stop the spreading of germs.In developing Nations like India with mass advertisement campaigns and doctors emphasising on personal hygiene the idea has gained a certain level of acceptance among the masses.The number of educated persons can easily understand the significance but however it is not very much known in many remote areas and villages.The rules of personal hygiene are hardly followed by the people from the lower strat of the society due to ignorance and illiteracy.
This is particularly dominant in countries like Africa,parts of Latin America,Peru,Argentina,Mexico etc.Due to lack of awareness in these countries millions of children under five years die of unsaniatry conditions.Those countries particularly become a hot spot during epidemic and fast spread of virus due to poor hygiene and sanitary conditions.
To celebrate Global Hand Washing Day 2011 the pan American Health Organisation joined hands to steer and educate the masses about washing hands with soap and water to eliminate germs and viruses.In an attempt to make it known to everyone the organisation set the record to make 7,40,870 persons wash hands with soap and water across multiple location like Argentina,Mexico,Peru aetc on October 14,2011.The record was set to promote hand washing as a vital element of personal hygiene and also in an attempt to educate the ignorant masses about the benefits of improved sanitary conditions.Peru alone mobilised 604,246 , Mexico figured with 134,790 persons and Argentina came up with 1834 persons to make the total of 7,40,870 persons who washed their hands.
