The handwaashing song

Hi all-

last week we did a short hand-washing lesson for the group of orphans and vulnerable children (OVCs) at a nearby Neighborhood Care Point (NCP), which is where they gather to get a meal. the words to this song are about needing to take care of one's self. the buildings you see are a little sitolo (store) and the home of the sitolo owner. the actual NCP has no structure; it's just an outdoor firepit onsite where volunteer women cook the meal. the tables, chairs, and cooking equipment is locked in the sitolo at nights, so it works fine. This is one of the "functioning" NCPs, and we enjoy doing activities with them.
