"Teachers are struggling extra hard right now, they are always struggling but this is like a terrible time for them and what Safeguard handwashing is doing is they are developing free handwashing lessons and plans to help their kids from kindergarten to third grade to wash their hands for 30 seconds if not more, and how to wash them correctly."

"They let me FaceTime a bunch of teachers who are like superhero teachers in my community and I surprised them and showed them with hand sanitisers and products and gift cards that we were going to send them and they were in tears, they were so happy, so shocked, and it was the nicest thing to be a part of," she said.
