"When we are well groomed...we feel good, and we feel good about
ourselves...we are better disposed toward others, treat them better,
and are thus better treated in return." --Dr. Forni
Activities:
- Ask your students to imagine they are packing for a
vacation. What would they pack in their suitcase? Toothpaste? Soap?

hospital patients, nursing home residents, and others in need. As you
assemble the items for each kit, discuss what each product is for and
how to use it.
Discussion questions:
