Let's face it. We are known worldwide as dirty people.

Another thing, how people who are homeless going to construct a toilet, and where?

Persons involved with mid-day mill having very poor or no knowledge on the sense of hygiene and safety of health. They should be trained first on improving their hygienic sense and attitude.
