World’s Future

 

   Children are not the face of this pandemic. But they risk being among of its biggest victims. While they have thankfully ben largely spared from the direct health effects of COVID-19 –at least to date- the crisis is having a profound effect on their wellbeing. All children of all ages, from all countries, are being affected, in particular by the socio-economic impact and, in some cases, by mitigation measures that may inadvertently do more harm than good.

 
  Children living in areas of armed conflict, who already struggle extensively to access health services may further excluded from attention and access to the severely stretched health systems. Physical distancing and lockdown measures, restrictions of movement and border closures, and surveillance strategies are all affecting children in myriad ways. Face-to-face child services – schooling, nutrition programmes, maternal and newborn care, immunization services, sexual and reproductive health services, HIV treatment, alternative care facilities, community-based child protection programmes and case management for children requiring supplementary personalized care, including those living with disabilities, and abuse victims- have often been partially or completely suspended. The impact of the pandemic extends far beyond the sphere of physical health. The pandemic is having profound effects on children’s mental well-being, their social development, their safety, their privacy and their economic security. Children living refugee settlements or other crowded conditions are especially vulnerable.

   While children are not the face of pandemic, its broader impacts on children risk being catastrophic and amongst the most lasting consequences for societies as a whole. What started as a public health emergency had snowballed into a formidable test for global development and for the prospects of today’s young generation.

   This is an unprecedented crisis and it presents unprecedented risks to the rights and safety and development of the world’s children. Those risks can only be mitigated through unprecedented international solidarity for children.

   We have to work together to make progress. We have a chance, to not only defeat this pandemic but to transform the way we nurture and invest in the young generation. But we have to act now, we have to act decisively, and at very large scale. This is not a gradual issue, it is a clarion call for the world’s children, the world’s future.

Together We Save Mother Earth!

     Since of now, it is apparent that this planet has been a gift to us humans and other living things, as it provides us with all of the resources we require. Everything we need is provided by Earth, from air to water to food, which is why we call it Mother Earth. We would not have existed if not for the beauty of the environment and the abundance of resources available on the planet.

  What, on the other hand, have we done to our mother earth? We have abused the globe for our personal gain, and now the planet we name our mother faces the possibility of extinction of life on its land solely as a result of our misdeeds. 

   

For many years, we have been ruthlessly plundering our so-called Mother Earth's resources without returning anything in exchange for its continued growth. For example, we exploit numerous lands to live by cutting down trees to build homes, industries, and other structures. However, we are unconcerned about the trees and plants that have been killed, and we are unconcerned about replanting them. We contaminate the atmosphere with vehicles and industry, and then we live a diseased future. It is past time for us to recognize the importance of saving Mother Earth.

  And now is the time that we realize that we have to make a move and save mother earth. To rescue our mother earth, we must start taking appropriate measures. If we think in, there are numerous things and many possible ways that we can do to rescue and protect mother earth. From planting more and more trees, hosting and being a volunteer on clean-up drives, conserving energy, by simply doing the 3R's (reduce, reuse, recycle), by using bicycle or walking instead of using fuel-engined vehicles and many more. 

  It is critical to shift to a more sustainable way of life in order to rescue our Mother Earth. Sustainable indicates that we should conserve resources and wisely use them, bearing in mind that future generations should benefit as well. This way of thinking will enable us to better utilize nature, care for it, and, ultimately, conserve Mother Earth.

Bumpy Quarter One

  

    Before this school year has started, it was always in my mind that it would be easier for me to manage my schooling this time from how I managed my schooling last year. And yet to my surprise, I was wrong.

   At the first few weeks, it was smooth and I was able to finish all the given activities and I was able to attend all the online classes/discussion. But then suddenly, family problems and financial problems along with my personal problems came up. By that time, all I was able to think about is " Why do this problems comes at the same time? Why now?. And from that time, I wasn't able to do my schoolworks, I wasn't able to stop myself from overthinking, I wasn't able to stop myself from finding answers to my why's and what if's. I wasn't able to concentrate with my studies, I wasn't also able to attend some of my online class and then to the point that tones of schoolworks was waiting for me to finish them.

   Then there comes that time that my mother talked to me and make me realized nothing good will happen if I just think and think of a solution to the problem. She said I had to make move and continue fighting through all the problems that had come and may come in the future. And that comes the time where I had come to myself and fight against all the problems. And now, here I am doing piles of my schoolworks. I know that some of my teachers will not take it but there no harm in trying. And I'm hoping that in the mere future I'd be able to address and face my problem a little bit easier. Moving on I give my all for next three quarters and thrive for the best.
