The volunteers started off by demonstrating the techniques of hand-washing and tooth brushing to the kids in each class. The children were then engaged in games such as tug-of-war and musical chairs, in which the volunteers had just as much fun as the kids. Activities such as hand printing and face painting brought huge smiles to the faces of all the children present, and they thoroughly enjoyed themselves.
