The Golden Poo Awards
The London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine, in association with PooP Creative, the London International Animation Festival (LIAF) and the Global Handwashing Day Coalition launched a competition for short animation films, which tackle the serious issues of hygiene and sanitation in an engaging and thought-provoking way.

The shortlisted films were screened at an awards ceremony named, 'The Golden Poo Awards' at the Prince Charles theartre in Leicester Square.  The audience voted on the films and winners were selected on the night.

To check out any of the animations visit the Poop Creative SITE for further details.

Global Handwashing Day
The vision of this day was to create a local and global culture of handwashing with soap. Although people around the world wash their hands with water, very few wash their hands with soap at the critical occasions

The agencies leading the Global Handwashing Day efforts were part of the Global PPPHW and include the Water and Sanitation Program (WSP/World Bank), UNICEF, Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), USAID through the Hygiene Improvement Project (HIP), Procter and Gamble and Unilever.

Members of the coalition, who include Pump Aid, Oxfam, The World Health Organisation (WHO), eBug and Poop Creative to name a few, all actively raised awareness for the day both together and individually.

Dear Chris and Team

The ‘Give a Sh*t’ (GAS) campaign is trying to tackle the taboo of the toilet. Yes, we want to get people talking about the issue of sanitation and talking about poo!

Sanitation is not an issue that we really like to talk about – let alone expect you to. But it’s an issue we HAVE to talk about because so many people die when we let our embarrassment get in the way. There are 2.5 billion people, to be precise, across the world who are living without a toilet!

The 19th November 2009 is World Toilet Day and we are asking you, the Radio 1 Chris Moyles' show to play our ‘Sh*t Song’ live on air, to ALL your listeners, to really show that it’s Not a Taboo, it’s just Poo!

So,  do you Give A Sh*t, Moyles?
