World Health Organization – Charity Matters

I know that on friday I told you that this week is National Volunteer Week and by the way it still is. However, today is World Health Day….I know it probably isn’t on your calendar but that’s why I’m here to share a little snippet of info.

The World Health Organization created these days to inform us all that our world is small and we need to all look out for our health and the health of others.

This years focus is on mosquitoes, flies, ticks and bugs …..I know not a glamorous topic but they may be a threat to your health, your family, your home or simply when you are traveling. This short video highlights simple measures we can take to protect ourselves and the international message of this years World Health Day.

So consider your self informed. Don’t forget the bug spray when you head out on Spring Break and remember that your health is a gift. Take a moment of gratitude for that and have a wonderful World Health Day!

Okay, so I know I am a day late on this one. Like many of you, I just got back into town from Spring break, so I am a day late. Yes, yesterday (April 7th) was World Health Day but just in case you missed it, like me, then I think it’s never too late to learn something important, even life saving.

WHO or the World Health Organization was started by diplomats from the United Nations on April 7th, 1945 and ever since we have celebrated World Health Day on that day….except today of course:)

Each year a different topic of international health is chosen and this year’s theme is blood pressure. I have to say after spring break and getting into some bad habits in a few short days, this message is more relevant than ever.

So enjoy World Health Day and remember it’s never to late to take of yourself or someone you love, even a day late!
