Tippy Tap!

Fina and I at the Tippy Tap! check out www.tippytap.org

A month or so ago, I was trying to think of ways to help teach hygiene to the Jaja women and stumbled upon the idea of putting a "Tippy Tap" in the village. Essentially, it's a hand-washing device used in places where access to soap and water is limited. Last week, we successfully put in Tippy Tap number one (hoorah, hoorah!).

We've been focusing a lot on emphasizing the importance of hand washing with soap (something so simple, yet so effective in preventing disease.. check out www.tippytap.org). The kids now wash their hands before the feeding every day and also can use soap and water in the village.
