Are you more than 5 years old?

Key facts

• 6.6 million children under the age of five died in 2012.
• More than half of these early child deaths are due to conditions that could be prevented or treated with access to simple, affordable interventions.
• Leading causes of death in under-five children are pneumonia, preterm birth complications, birth asphyxia, diarrhoea and malaria. About 45% of all child deaths are linked to malnutrition.
• Children in sub-Saharan Africa are about over 16 times more likely to die before the age of five than children in developed regions.

Preterm birth, intrapartum-related complications (birth asphyxia or lack of breathing at birth), and infections cause most neonatal deaths. From the end of the neonatal period and through the first five years of life, the main causes of death are pneumonia, diarrhoea and malaria. Malnutrition is the underlying contributing factor in about 45% of all child deaths, making children more vulnerable to severe diseases.

If you are more than 5 years old now, please, halt for a moment, if you got the time, say a lil' prayer to thank your parent for doing a great job into taking good care of you, to raise you what you are today! I believe there is a prayer from every religion for our awesome parents.

As for this, do finish watching the video from Lifebuoy, they did one great job!

Where all the 'talking' goes to?

I suppose that picture can speaks a lot for itself. Now recall your last hang out session with your friend, did that expensive smartphone of yours 'sneak' out of your pocket and you have a look on what is happening on the 'other world' like Facebook, Twitter and Instagram?

Have all the conversation stop for a while just to give way to all this clicking on the smartphone? Now, you think about it, which is more important? 

But sometimes even there is one guy who keep telling his/her friend around to stop doing it and all, friends ignorance is way higher so, this is what we can do...

An easy game, many had done it and many had felt the effect...The Stacking Phone game.

Many might have done this when you read this, but for those that have no idea on what is this about, this is how the game rolls,

First, everybody put their phone either faced down or another way round and stack it up together (like in the picture)

Secondly, let the phone so, and nobody is allowed to check on their phone and no answering even it is ringing and going to explode soon.

What happen if one checks? Easy, he or she pays the entire bill that come later (don't lah you 'ngek' the person later)

The game ends when the bill come or someone checks the bill, as easy as that!

The other part goes for those camps or any activities or such. (this I learned in one of the church camp that I recently attended)

Before anything starts, do let all the participants know that phone will be keep and before that do let them have some time to call their family members or anybody to let them know if anything emergency, do have an emergency contact numbers in the camp itself. After all the calls had been made, give them a sealed bag and asked to put their phone and sealed it

What happens in that one or two days without their phone, many will be amazed, many will feel the 'special' side of the effect, this I promised you for many had agreed, well what are you waiting for? Start talking and put your phone aside!
