UNICEF: The Wiggles support Global Handwashing Day

NEW YORK, USA, 14 October 2008 Tomorrow, millions of people around the world will wash their hands with soap at special events marking the inaugural Global Handwashing Day, 15 October.

The days theme is that washing hands with water is simply not enough. But handwashing with soap especially before preparing food and after using the toilet is among the most effective and inexpensive ways to prevent diahrroeal diseases and pneumonia, which together are responsible for the deaths of more than 3.5 million children under five every year.

In the video, UNICEF Ambassadors and popular Australian childrens musical entertainers The Wiggles give a press conference to announce their support for Global Handwashing Day and sing the tune they created for the occasion.
