Here is everything that Fahad Mustafa talked about on this Global Handwashing Day!

Global Handwashing Day

Every year, on 15th October, we celebrate ‘Global Handwashing day’ around the world. In Pakistan, the importance of celebrating this day to mainly raise awareness about hand health hygiene is extremely important as hygiene is one of the most important parts of our health and in turn our lives. Inspiring people for this cause, ‘HogaSaaf Pakistan’, a social impact movement, has been at forefront encouraging Pakistanis to wash their hands properly and adopt proper hygiene habits.

In the light of this important day, Actor and TV show host Fahad Mustafa, the brand ambassador of this campaign, was invited to a morning show “BakhabarSavera”, where he spread the awareness and importance of clean hands.

Here’s the list of the things he mentioned while at the show:

• He talked about his decision of accepting the responsibility of being an ambassador of this campaign, as his popularity with kids is unmatched, and the children need to learn more and more about hygiene and cleanliness protocols.
• He shared his view that children and adults should be aware of personal hygiene in the most casual way, which also helps them to remember it, rather than taking them down in a serious conversation.
• He emphasized on the point that even in Islam, hygiene is very important as ‘SafaiNisfImaan Hai’.
• Throughout his conversation, Fahad urged people to take good care of their oral, and physical hygiene as it plays a key role in maintaining our health.
• When asked upon the garbage overloading situation in Karachi, being the ambassador ofHogaSaaf Pakistan, Fahad said that everyone should come together in this effort of making Karachi a better, cleaner and greener place.

Towards the end of the show, a public service message, starring Fahad Mustafa, explained the 5 steps of washing hands very briefly:

1. Wash your hands from palm to palm
2. Under your thumbs
3. Fingers and nails
4. Between the fingers as well
5. From the back of the hands and fingers too

On this Global Handwashing Day, we ought to make a few good changes in our habits for a better and cleaner future.
