Click here for the Wash Handsanimation by Bridget Elaine Burgess, Plant Scientist comments... Effectiveness The use of Tee tree oil is sound as it is anti microbial and with the other ingredients would form a type of soap. User friendly As it is soap and water and one solution could be used for lots of hand washing. Not necessary to boil the water as the oil would act to kill the bugs, but could be used as a safety rpecaution as boiling water sterilises it. Dr Norris comments... A very pretty poem with, nice art work but it's not clear what the product is.         Dr Norris comments...This requires a lot of technology for kids in PNG to see it. Such technology is not available. It shows NZ toilets & wash basins and they may not look like this in PNG. John Cocks, engineer comments... · Effectiveness Good ideas shown. You will know how well it works when you build and test it.

It's good to see that the hands are brown but it's not clear that the kids would learn about handwashing from it.                   Dr Norris comments... I don't really understand this such as buy what now?             Dr Norris comments... It's good that it's repetitive but it assume a lot of knowledge about germs.

Elvis: Ummmm could you say it again not singing? Water-O-Matic: (sighs) ok……… well firstly there is a tray which collects water and two pipes connected to the tray take the water to either tap water or drinking water. The water which goes into the tap pipe goes to a tank which stores the water until you use it. Same with the drinking water. Elvis: Ohhhhhh now I get it! Water-O-Matic: yeah…… great Elvis: Ok thank you Water-O-Matic: now I have to go…… Elvis: oh no! why? You just can't leave Water-O-Matic: its not my call Elvis: Who did this to you?!

There are some good ideas but it's a bit hard to follow and there is some New Zealand humour that might not translate easily to PNG.                                           Dr Norris comments... The sound track is great! The images are very New Zealand and may not be appropriate. Dr Norris comments... This requires a lot of technology for kids in PNG to see it.
