Handwashing Lessons

Time to catch up on blog posts from before we got sick!

One of our planned lessons was to use Glo-germ to teach kids about proper handwashing techniques. Glo-germ, for those of you who haven't had the pleasure of playing with it, is a bright pink oil that shows up neon orange under UV light. So we gave each of the kids a few drops to rub all over their hands, had them wash their hands with soap and water, then we shined a UV flashlight on their hands to show them the spots they missed and where they should be concentrating on when washing. The Glo-germ is supposed to mimic germs, to show where dirt and bacteria stick the most, like on your knuckles and under your fingernails. One of our contacts helped us translate, since Vaiyavoor's school is a Tamil medium school and none of the kids speak English (more than "hi!" or "super!"). We also taught the kids a little about common bacterial species, like e. Coli, Salmonella, Staph, and and Streptococcus.
