Kolkata, Oct 15 (IBNS): Committed towards spreading awareness around the importance of hand hygiene among children, RB (formerly known as Reckitt Benckiser) India celebrated Global Handwashing Day recently.

As a part of the global campaign “Give Life a Hand” panning across 27 countries, the campaign saw school children across 11 countries come together in a virtual relay.

During the relay, children are taught simple steps of handwashing and the occasions when they must wash their hands.

They then pass on the baton to the school children in another country via virtual screens. The relay began from Sydney and passed through Beijing, Dhaka, New Delhi, Karachi, The Middle East, Johannesburg, Lagos, Buenos Aires, Mexico City, ending in San Jose (Costa Rica).

“Give Life a Hand” campaign was launched globally on Oct 1.
