Each October 15, over 200 million people around the world take part in Global Handwashing Day.Research shows that not enough people wash their hands with soap. Experts believe that this leads to the deaths of millions of people every year.
Myriam Sidibe says that soap is “the most beautiful invention in public health”. He knows that washing hands with soap can have a big influence on reducing flu(流感) and other diseases. It can also prevent babies from getting sick and keep children healthy.
However, washing hands with soap doesn't appear as fast as you might think. This may happen in poorer countries, but it's also because for many people, washing hands with soap is simply not part of their everyday work. This is what Global Handwashing Day tries to do.
In 2008, the first Global Handwashing Day began. Every year since then, the campaign(运动) has held many different events around the world. In 2014, Global Handwashing Day was used in the fight against Ebola(埃博拉病毒).
Today, local and national leaders continue to use the day to spread the message about the value of clean hands. The hope is that handwashing can become a necessary part of people's lives and make a big difference to the health of millions around the world.

If you or someone near you is in danger, how will you do the first aid? Mr. Zhang, a doctor in Beijing First Aid Center has some useful suggestions.
Check the environment. Watch the situation carefully. Is there anything that might do harm to you? Will you or the victim be hurt by fire, harmful smoke, a broken building, electrical wires or other dangerous situations? Do not rush into a place where you could be a victim yourself.
If being close to the victim will put your life in danger, search for skilled help at once. Skilled people have received special training and know how to deal with these situations. First aid isn ‘ t helpful if you do it but hurt yourself.
Call for help. Call the police or some other first-aid services immediately if you believe someone is seriously injured. If you are the only person on the scene，try to restart the patient，s breath before calling for help. Do not leave the victim alone.
Care for the person. Care for someone who has just gone through serious hardness. Remember to stay calm, encourage him (her) and you should be reassuring. Let the person know that help is on its way and that everything will be all right.
