Thought of the Day

What have you done with your hands today?

Today, among other things, I:

-put in contacts
-tied my bootlaces
-cut up an apple
-picked up trash in my car
-put on a bandaid
-ate an ice cream sandwich
-petted my dog
-filled in a form at the doctor's office


Now think: what if I didn't have access to clean water and soap to wash my hands between those steps? I like my dog, but I don't want him on my contacts. And those people at the doctor's seemed a little sketchy for me to want to put them on my ice cream sandwich. With hand washing stations, people in Belize can clean their hands between steps. Today, think about it: where have your hands been?
