| Every Day is Handwashing Day |
 |
| International Handwashing Day is celebrated on October 15 but CCDO promotes and teaches good hygiene every day starting with our youngest at the preschool level. Besides correct hand washing we also teach good oral hygiene after breakfast. Each student has his or her own toothbrush in special holders on the wall of their classroom, replaced every six months. |

| CCDO Global Ambassadors |

| CCDO Ambassadors are raising funds around the world. Signe Christensen from Auckland, New Zealand, and her Altrusa group raised $459 through film screening. They slated the funds for educational and literacy supplies. |
| I belong to an international women's community group called Altrusa, present in 13 countries around the world. Our NZ Altrusa group and our dedicated Altrusans are always looking for projects that incorporate literacy and mothers and children. It has been an honor to raise funds for books for CCDO. |
