2011 FAQ's
1. In
2011, Global Handwashing Day, October 15, falls on a
Saturday. My school is only open Monday - Friday. Do I
have to celebrate Global Handwashing Day on Saturday?
You don't have to hold your Global Handwashing Day
celebrations on Saturday. You can celebrate the day
with activities on Friday or another day that is
convenient for you. Many schools and organizations
stretch Global Handwashing Day into a week or even
month-long event. We only encourage celebration around
October 15 so that you can leverage all of the global
attention and activities happening at that time.
2. Is
there a
2011 Global Handwashing Day theme?
In 2010, the Global Handwashing Day theme was "More
Than Just a Day", There is no global theme for 2011.
This allows organizations the flexibility to chose
their own theme if the want. You can continue to use
"More Than Just a Day" or select a theme that
addresses your specific needs around handwashing. For
example, a school may want to emphasis a theme of
washing your hands after using the bathroom or before
eating if those are particular behaviors that need to
be improved at the school.
