The highest number of children washing their hands at the same time was his Third Guinness Record. This was done to educate children on how to be clean at all times so as not to contact diseases. This third record was done in partnership with Unilever's lifebuoy soap.

His fourth record is for the world's biggest post office stamp painting which was used to celebrate Lagos at 50. Adetunwase Adenle worked with Lagos state government, some organisations and NGOs to make his records happen and also to make sure that the children that worked with him to make his paintings a success will benefit from his projects.
