Wash your hands properly;
Before you feed a child
Wash your hands well!
After you answer natures call;
Wash your hands with soap;
After removing garbage;
Ensure washing your hands!
After you remove childs faeces;
Wash hands carefully;
After playing in the ground;
remember to wash your hands!
When you wash hands correctly;
Diseases can be prevented;
And when you do this;
You can live disease free!
