Free Public Talk- Creating Transformative Movements (Zoom)
About
The charismatic Dr Jack Sim's interest in toilets and hygiene was triggered by a speech by then Prime Minister Goh Chok Tong, who said a society’s graciousness could be measured by the cleanliness of its toilets. He founded the World Toilet Organization and created the UN World Toilet Day 19 Nov adopted by all 193 countries of the UN General Assembly. Over the last 20 years, his movement delivered sanitation to 1.2 billion people in developing countries. His talk will inspire you to help others on a global scale.
