Global Handwash Day

On Thursday, each class paused to celebrate Global Handwashing Day, which is now perhaps more prevalent than ever! We linked up with Starfish Malawi to explore how important it is that all people across the world have access to clean water and sanitation. We learnt how 1 in 3 people in Malawi don’t have access to clean water (that’s 5.8 million people!) and so Starfish Malawi have been providing wash stands, which include clean water and soap, that operate by putting your foot onto a pedal. Some of Lilac Class were so inspired by this that they actually had a go at making their own washstand at Forest School!
