Happy International Human Rights Day! Yes, today is the day to celebrate the universal human right: to live and to do so peacefully. This day was declared to raise awareness of human rights and of those who are deprived of these rights.
A lil explanation, courtesy of Wikipedia (accuracy of information not guaranteed).......
"The date was chosen to honour the United Nations General Assembly's adoption and proclamation, on 10 December 1948, of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights (UDHR), the first global enunciation of human rights. The commemoration was established in 1950, when the General Assembly invited all states and interested organizations to celebrate the day as they saw fit."
Anyway, for as long as we have and will occupy this earth, there are many still out there who do not have access to the most basic of human rights such as clean water, food and shelter. Hopefully, we can all do our own small part, contribute to make a small difference. One way to do this is through the World Food Programme Feed Bag which is a product of the United Nations World Food Programme, and was designed to raise awareness and funds for hungry children. Each FEED bag sold (USD60) will provide a school year of meals for one child in need and give them the hope of an education and a regular meal.
Ok, off my soap box now. On to more frivolousness :)
