Debasis Nayak's avatarB +Ve!!

Nelson Mandela International Day (or Mandela Day) is an annual international day in honour of Nelson Mandela, celebrated each year on 18 July, Mandela’s birthday.

The day was officially declared by the United Nations in November 2009, with the first UN Mandela Day held on 18 July 2010. However, other groups began celebrating Mandela Day on 18 July 2009.

Mandela Day is not meant as a public holiday, but as a day to honour the legacy of Nelson Mandela, South Africa’s former President, and his values, through volunteering and community service.

Mandela Day is a global call to action that celebrates the idea that each individual has the power to transform the world, the ability to make an impact.

To mark the first global celebration of Mandela Day on 18 July 2009, Mandela’s 91st birthday, a series of educational, art exhibit, fund-raising and volunteer events leading up to a concert…

LEARNING FIRST-AID AS A SERVICE

https://www.afai.co.in/

The first aid training program aims to train people and equip them with hands-on skills to save a life. So that they become skilled first-responders when there is an emergency; not remain mere onlookers.

Studies reveal that Bystanders can be of great help during medical emergencies especially CARDIAC ARREST. It is a life-threatening event when every second matters.

Just by giving basic aid like CPR, the  chance of revival can be increased by threefold.

Hence, it is crucial to train people about the BASIC FIRST AID, CPR and use of AED. This workforce can save the lives of people in malls, offices, hotels, streets, theaters, schools, colleges and every place that can’t be imagined.

The term “Service to mankind is service to God” means that selfless service for the cause of humanity is as important as worshiping God. Love of mankind is, in Vivekananda’s opinion, the worship of God. This is the gist of all worship is to be pure and to do well to others.

WORLD EMOJI DAY 😀

Debasis Nayak's avatarB +Ve!!

World Emoji Day is an annual unofficial holiday occurring on 17 July, intended to celebrate emoji; in the years since the earliest observance, it has become a popular date to make product or other announcements and releases relating to emoji.

World Emoji Day is “the brainchild of Jeremy Burge” according to CNBC which stated that the “London-based founder of Emojipedia created it” in 2014.

The New York Times reported that Burge created this on 17 July “based on the way the calendar emoji is shown on iPhones”. For the first World Emoji Day, Burge told The Independent “there were no formal plans put in place” other than choosing the date. The Washington Post suggested in 2018 that readers use this day to “communicate with only emoji”.

NBC reported that the day was Twitter’s top trending item on 17 July in 2015. In 2016, Google changed the appearance of Unicode character…

THE KIND

Susi Bocks's avatarI Write Her

Elena Mozhvilo – Unsplash

behold those with their irenic nature
with a softness about them
affecting the generations to come

our home needs saved
by people who are the treasures
undoing the damage of beasts

they hold the harshness at bay
soothing the cries of man’s doing
demanding right over wrong

they are the teachers of love
gifting kindness and healing wounds
making us whole again

AN INTRODUCTION TO HEALING WOUNDS OF THE PAST

Joyful2bee's avatarjoyful2beeblogs

Golden Arrow sunset.
Golden Arrow sunset, where the light enters

I hope to help more people be aware of domestic violence and how the effects of it can persist for many years. The first post on this topic:

https://joyful2beeblogs.com/2023/07/09/ a-letter-to-little-elaine/ https://joyful2beeblogs.com/2023/07/10/letter-to-my-childhood-self/

Rumi, a famous Persian philosopher from the 13th century, once aptly penned: “The wound is where the light enters you.” I wonder what kind of pain he experienced to understand wounds and healing so well.

I loved the man I married. From the observations of others and from my own early experiences (7 years of dating him) I know he loved me. But his health and emotional unrest caused him to go where I could not help him.

The truth is: I was a victim of emotional, mental, physical, and domestic abuse/violence. Even writing it makes me cringe. I do not like to admit that I was a victim because “victim” sounds…

SWAMI VIVEKANANDA PART 2

GERANIO (GERANIUM)

सयुंक्त परिवार (JOINT FAMILY)

सयुंक्त परिवार
Joint Family

चुनकर एक एक फूल ज्यूँ
गूँथी जाती प्रभु की माला
प्रेम प्यार की डोरी में बंध
बने सयुंक्त परिवार निराला

pick and choose each flower
to make Lord’s rosary
fastened in the bond of love
joint family became unique

प्रेम प्यार का कच्चा धागा
कैसे पाये मजबूती
नियमित परस्पर संवाद
है मजबूती की बूँटी

Love the raw thread of love
how to get stronger
regular mutual interaction
is the root of strength

इस धागे में आती दृढ़ता
हो बड़ों का सेवा सम्मान
जब छोटों के दृष्टिकोण पर
दिया जाता है पूरा ध्यान

persistence in this threading comes
with due respect to elders
when the approach of the little ones
is given full attention

बड़े होते बड़ पेड़ समान
सबको ढक रखते हैं छांव
इनकी चरण-सेवा कर लो
यही है भवसागर की नाव

elders are like a big trees
whose shade covers everyone
do their feet service
this is the boat of cosmic ocean

खुशियों भरा बैठक का कमरा
स्नेह सिंचित हैं जिसके द्वार
चाय की प्याली में फूंक मारते
हर सुबह हिल मिल करें विचार

The meeting rooms full of happiness
whose doors are filled with affection
Taking sips from tea cups
Discuss every morning thoughts

एक रसोई एक ही चूल्हा
खाते समय होती बातें चार
सुख दुःख सब आपस में बांटे
ऐसा होता सयुंक्त परिवार

one kitchen and one stove
Few discussions happen while eating
share all happiness and sorrows among all
joint family is like those

आज के इस युग में खोजा
दूर दूर तक नज़रें पसार
बिरले ही साझा परिवार मिले
मुश्किल से होंगे ये दो चार

discovered in today’s age
eyes glancing far and far
rarely found joint family
It will hardly be two or four

एकाकी जीवन में कहां अब
मिल पाता है सबका प्यार
आज के बच्चे नहीं जानते
कैसा क्या होता है परिवार

Where now in lonely life
can we get everyone’s love
today’s kids don’t know
how and what makes a family

क्यों ना ऐसी मुहिम चलायें
वृद्ध आश्रम सारे बंद करायें
मात पिता संग रह बच्चों को
संयुक्त परिवार का स्वाद चखाएं |

why not run such a campaign
to close all old age homes
help children live with parents
make all experience the taste of joint family

WHO NEEDS TO CHANGE?

Laleh Chini's avatarA Voice from Iran

“218th Story”

Sally was an energetic smart girl. She used to do very well in school with the best behavior.

But in her last year of high school, which was very important for her future she wasn’t doing well according to her teacher Mrs. Lambert.

Mrs. Lambert warned Sally several times to change her way of talking to others and staying focused and many other issues that Sally had and was causing a huge problem, not to mention ruining her crucial year of getting to university and building a future for herself.

It seemed like Sally is not going to do any changes in her actions, and that made the concerned Mrs. Lambert ask Sally’s mother to come to school.

Mrs. Lambert was straight with Sally’s mother and asked her to take Sally to a psychiatrist and tell the doctor that Sally has a behavior disorder.

The concerned mother took…
