 The
purpose of having this day is to have people in all countries to take

public marks the day to practice toilet etiquette, the restroom
community-at-large celebrates with a new declaration for the forthcoming
year.
RAS will be celebrating World
Toilet Day 2007 in a one-of-a-kind manner, so watch out!

that advocates for clean public toilets until this internship experience.
Many have asked me why I chose RAS as my PA organization instead of other
well-established multi-national companies. In my opinion...
