She told students the Bodyguard soap brand ingredients were ideal to improve personal hygiene and stop the spread of germs through hand washing.
“Handwashing with soap is expected to be a significant contribution to meeting the United Nations’ Millennium Development Goal of reducing deaths of children under the age of five by two-thirds by 2015. As good habits begin in childhood, children can be the driving force for changing behaviours, like using soap when washing hands, in their communities,” she said.
