“The story of Lupe Hernandez, the student nurse who, in 1966, realised that if alcohol was in gel form, it could clean hands when people had no access to soap and water and became the inventor of the hand sanitizer http://ow.ly/UqU050yNY8c”

Manuel,

My wife, Margarita, has just given birth to our first child, a girl named Guadalupe, or just Lupe for short. I know that it seems so soon after our wedding, as, in fact, Margarita was in the early stages of her pregnancy when we got married. I would be honored if you would be Lupe’s godfather. I hope that when she is old enough she can play with your son, Victor.

You Can Thank This Latina for Hand Sanitizer Gel

Hand sanitizer has become one of the most useful tools in the fight against the coronavirus. Did you know a Latina student nurse invented it?

Her name was Lupe Hernandez, it was 1966. I did not know this.
