As we are in the middle of the holidays, handwashing a great lesson to introduce to our youth. Washing your hands is the first level of defense when fighting against illnesses. The student scholars of North Carolina A&T State University successfully held a handwashing and fruit activity with the children in the Child Development Labatory. The importance of handwashing was emphasized throughout the class, especially when handling food. The scholars also exposed kids to a variety of different fruits and taught them the difference between eating healthy foods and junk foods.
