How often do you wash your towel? Some people wash once a week, while some, once a year. The towel is a fertile breeding ground for millions of microbes, especially those found on human skin and on the gut. No wonder the towel is one of the objects that facilitate fecal-oral contamination (literally connecting the two ends of the gut). Worse still, most people keep towels in the bathroom (near the toilet). Every flush of the toilet sends mist with millions of microbes, ranging from H.pylori, salmonella and other deadly bacteria and viruses.

Ubuntu
Ubuntu is a nyce story from Africa. The motivation behind the Ubuntu story in Africa.
An Anthropologist proposed a game for African tribal children.
He placed a basket of sweet bananas near a tree.
And made children stand 100 metres away.
Then announced whoever who reaches the basket first would get all sweets in the basket.
When he said,"ready steady go"
Do you know what these children did?
They all held each others hand,ran together towards the basket under tree,then shared the sweets among themselves,ate the sweets and enjoyed.
When Anthropologist asked them why they did so,
They answered ,"Ubuntu...."
Which meant,"How can one be happy while others are sad?"
Ubuntu in their language means;I am because we are"
A strong message for all generation
Let all always have this attitude and spread happiness wherever we are.
Let's have "Ubuntu life"
*I am because we are*
