Hygiene Awareness Programs Held Across Andhra Pradesh
Imagine a big clean-up day!
In two cities in Andhra Pradesh, people learned why it's super important to be clean.
They were taught how to wash their hands the right way with soap to stop germs from making them sick.
They also learned that keeping their homes and towns tidy helps everyone stay healthy.
Some people even planted trees to take care of our environment.
This was all part of a plan to make everyone and their communities cleaner and healthier, just like washing your face keeps you feeling good!
