A World to Nurture, A Group of Diverse Wonderful Beings

This week, we join the global celebration of United Nations Week— a time to embrace unity amid diversity and to honor the shared humanity that connects us all. It is more than just a commemoration of nations coming together; it is a celebration of the beautiful individuality of every person who helps build a more vibrant and compassionate world.

In a world where differences can sometimes divide us, the United Nations reminds us that our diversity is our greatest strength. Every culture, tradition, and belief adds meaning and wisdom to the story we each share. By fostering respect, understanding, and collaboration, we move closer to a world where peace prevails and kindness transcends all boundaries.

As the United Nations celebrates its 80 years of service, let us continue to stand together and be a voice for justice— for these are the foundations of a harmonious and peaceful world.

Together, we are one— united for brighter horizons. Let’s uphold the principles of hope, unity, and empathy toward one another.

Clean Hands, Healthy Living: Celebrating World Handwashing Day

This October 15th, the world celebrates a simple yet life-saving act. World Handwashing Day is more than a celebration, it is a movement that reminds us that hygiene is a foundation of public health.

Handwashing is one of the most effective and affordable ways to prevent the spread of microorganisms and infectious diseases. Clean hands can break the chain of transmission of flu illnesses to diarrheal illnesses. Yet, some still lack access to basic hygiene resources, even when soap and water are available, it still is not one of the habits.

The theme, “Be a Handwashing Hero” invites us to take initiative for hygiene promotion. Whatever your role in a community, a teacher being a model to the students, a nurse strengthening protocols in a clinic, or a parent teaching your child the importance of hand washing before and after meals.

This celebration is not just for awareness, but to inspire action. It is a call to everyone to prioritize hand hygiene in homes, schools, workplace, and public spaces.
