WORLD KINDNESS DAY 2020

 Today is world kindness day!! There seems to be a day for every action in our daily life. Kindness is an everyday occurrence or at least it should be. Highlighting the day simply reminds us of what we should be doing. Did you know you actually feel better when you are kind to someone? Try it.

A simple act of kindness however big or small might be what somebody just needed that day , and it makes a gig difference for another even when you don't realize it. With just a little kindness from mankind , the world would be a better place

Today is a global day that promotes the importance of being kind to each other and even to yourself.

Kindness means:

FRIENDSHIP

LOVE

RESPECTING each other and their differences

A UNIFYING Human principle

CARING

SHARING and much more.

Let us all do our best to partake in an act of kindness as a way of life.

Much love from me to you and yours:

While we are in a Pandemic !!

 "On International Day for the Eradication of Poverty, we must remind ourselves that #malaria thrives within impoverished communities, hindering growth and limiting the prospects of those infected. In fact, malaria costs Africa around US$12 billion every year!" UNICEF.

While we are in a pandemic , it is hard to think of other sicknesses. Nonetheless, there is still there is still a big problem of poverty world wide in many third world countries, as well as other illnesses.

Malaria for example is prevalent in Sub-Saharan Africa , killing many people daily. can you imagine having to deal with malaria and Covid?

Let us continue to support those who are out in the fiels doing their best to curtail these ailments.

Your support to any of these organizations is great appreciated.

Thanks and be safe.

As the Pandemic continues !!

 The Global Fund reported that , the number of people dying from AIDS has dropped by more than half in the past two decades. But then COVID 19 came and all that progress is being affected. It is reversing the progress. Thus AIDs related deaths could double next year thereby eliminating more than ten years gains and efforts made towards eradicating this disease.

 Yep people with low immunity and other ailments are more at risk. Let us continue to do our part in taking preventive measures and hope this virus goes away. Support your local HIV/AIDS action programs and help support individuals as they battle their disease in the midst of a pandemic

World Humanitarian Day !!

 If only this could be everyday for us humans!!

Today is world humanitarian day.Thanks to all those who make it their business to help others.

 To them I say thanks, to the rest of us I say let us do our best to show a little kindness everyday. being kind and helpful to another human being should be second nature to all, but unfortunately our world today is filled with hate , crimes , wars and plagued with disease.

Today reminded me to continue to express love and show kindness to one another. I pray for peace and health in the world. Smile at some one , nod, say hello for its the smallest and simplest things that really matter.

BE HUMAN !!

Children and the Pandemic!!

As I listened to the news , read the paper . look at headlines online, all I hear is that there is a grim future ahead. My thoughts and prayers goes to the children of the world, who according to the world food organization are dying of starvation. 

As a result of the pandemic many children will die not from the virus but from the chain reaction of events following the virus. The world food organization says about 140 million children now are suffering and dying from hunger. With no school , many children are now missing meals and many other essential services. I hope those in charge can help reverse this current status. 

Ultimately only the God lord and see us through.

Human Rights !!

Today Marks 75 years since the United Nations has been in the business of  human rights activities.

These are rights that have been violated by so many nations and have received no sanctions. Although I stand with the UN , I strongly believe , there is yet more to accomplish. 

Their anniversary has come at a time when the world needs human rights protection the most. There is pandemic of 2019/2020 ravaging the world , there civil wars and other civil crisis , there are bad governments killing its people. In United States , we have the recent killings of black men and women.

My native Cameroon has seen the senseless loss of thousands of lives and displacement of the common man. People are now living in bushes for fear of their lives. So many inhumane things going on around us today. 

United Nations we are hoping that you will put your best foot forward and continue to save lives and protect human rights. Though politics do get in the way sometimes, and they have not always been satisfactory  or even timely in their response in certain cases , I believe the UN has done some great work since inception.

                                                                                                                                                                         THANK YOU!! A LOT  HAS BEEN DONE,

BUT THERE IS MORE YET TO DO 

Day of the African Child.

There is one day in the year to commemorate the African child. This helps us look back at the progress that has been made in reducing mortality and educating young minds.  UNICEF does a great deal of work out of politics to help the cause for children.

As a reminder , when the adults of the world poorly plan , it means the future of children are at stake. So if we have that in mind and function in a way that protects and prevents bad outcomes , the children will successfully lead our world tomorrow, thus allowing us a better old age adventure.

In recent times , there has been so many deaths, unnecessary killings , wars , and disease , the end result of all this means the children will pay the price somehow, sometime. Growing up with parents is challenging enough , imagine doing the same without parents or just one parent. 

I hope we can all recommit to creating a better life for the children  of the world.
