A FIRST OPERATION SUCCESSFULLY CARRIED OUT IN CAMBODIA

The ORAPI Hygiene Foundation provided the team of Enfants du Mékong volunteers, called “Bamboos”, on a mission in Phnom Penh, Cambodia, with “I know how to wash my hands” fortune tellers translated into Khmer language during an operation conducted by the Foundation in Cambodia with the Hagopig association.

The local team then organized an educational activity for the children on the theme of hygiene to teach them to adopt the right actions.

The activity started with a large rubbish collection at the school to raise children’s awareness of waste treatment. Then, to teach them that after touching dirty things, you have to wash your hands, the teaching team proposed a cleaning workshop with a strong emphasis on the steps to take to ensure proper hand washing. To accompany this learning and make it fun, each child was given a paper fortune teller, to their greatest joy.

A first step in a great adventure for the ORAPI Hygiene Foundation and Enfants du Mékong in Southeast Asia!
