Whining about things we can’t change doesn’t help anything– that’s my message to the world

“If there is magic on this planet, it is contained in water.” – Loran Eisely

It’s 3: 13 PM on day 3103 since I started blogging and I managed to pray, read a Bible verse  and create and promote my 28 For 28 Campaign benefiting charity:water – thanks to Gaynor and B, Marco, Stan Faryna and Marisa who’ve all made donations so far which brings the total raised to $174 of $28 000

This morning I started 28 For 28 – a fundraising campaign benefiting  charity: water, a non-profit organization bringing clean and safe drinking water to people in developing countries – because I believe that when we give people access to clean water  we give more than water because clean water gives health, an opportunity at an education and most importantly  access to clean water gives people  back the priceless gift of time (the time women spend collecting water they can spend with their families, starting a business or even going back to school).  . My goal is to raise $28 000 for charity : water in honour of my 28th year of life. For more information about my 28 For 28 Campaign log on to https://my.charitywater.org/nisha-varghese/28-for-28   to make a donation  and use #28For28  when tweeting about this campaign.

Today I woke up to the news of the mosque shootings in New Zealand What kind of human beings enter a places of worship and shoots people…who raises these people? SO SO SAD. I cannot walk and some who can use their abilities to hurt people it hurts my heart. My condolences to all those personally affected by this tragedy. I continue to live in the knowledge that although it doesn’t seem so there are more good people than bad in the world

“We are creating a generation of broken human beings and when we create broken human beings we create new social ills that we have to deal with in the future.” – Catherine Constantinides

Yesterday Catherine Constantinides participated in a child rights session at a side-event of the UN Human Rights Council in Geneva and spoke about how the basic human rights of the Saharawi child (child of the Western Sahara) are not being upheld I agree wholeheartedly with Catherine that human rights, particularly children’s human rights, should be actioned and not just live on paper. Watch Catherine’s Address at the Child Rights session:
