This Saturday 19th November is “World Toilet Day”. This is a day when we are encouraged to think about sanitation world wide. We are incredibly fortunate to have clean, functioning toilets. Many people around the world do not and this affects their health and pollutes the environment.
At All Hallows, our toilets are twinned with toilets belonging to families living in poverty around the world.
Here are some things we can do:
read about World Toilet Day on https://www.worldtoiletday.info/
read about Toilet Twinning on https://www.toilettwinning.org/
look at the Toilet Twinning certificates in the toilets in church and find out more about the countries where the toilets are twinned with.
talk to people who have lived or travelled in poorer countries about the state of the toilets in those countries and their experiences.
Are there more things that we can do as a church and as a community to help tackle this issue?
