Today August 19, is World Humanitarian Day. A day set aside to honour those who dedicate their lives, give up their job, time, comfort, energy, career, lives ..... for the betterment of humanity.
"World Humanitarian Day falls on August the 19, the day in 2003 when 22 aid workers were killed in a bombing at the UN headquarters in Baghdad. It is a day to commemorate all people who have lost their lives in humanitarian service and to celebrate the spirit that inspires humanitarian work around the world".
To everyone involved in any form of humanitarian work around the world, I say THANK YOU. Thank you because you make the world a better place. People all over the world need our help one way or the other .... Let's do more! Let's be compassionate because many need freedom, food, care, love, shelter, relief..... People are experiencing famine, persecution, violence, pain, poverty, diseases, loneliness......
The change we need in the world starts with you and I. Start from your immediate surrounding, neighbourhood, community, church, society, state ......
Together, let's have concern for helping and improving the welfare and happiness of people. Let's protect lives, properties and reduce sufferings of people.
Together, let's honour those who face the danger and go on the front line to protect others.
Today like every other day, do something good somewhere for someone else. At the end of the day, it's all in the little things we do.
