It takes a humane human to be a true humanitarian. Because the true humanitarian will encounter squalor, inconvenience, and horrors that can chase away the very help that is needed. Yet sometimes, the ability to stay and help in spite of all these makes a world of difference, and that is what the true humanitarian offers to the vulnerable in the midst of crises. And so in a world riddled with crimes of hate, injustice and greed, humanitarian aid is as indispensable as humanitarian crises are inevitable. Today is World Humanitarian Day and Habelle's Foundation sends a big applause to all development and aid workers who step into various crises in war-torn and volatile countries to alleviate the sufferings and indignities inflicted upon other human beings. Happy World Humanitarian Day!
Today is International Literacy Day and the theme is ‘Promoting Literacy in the Digital Era’. While some of us may not exactly be digital gurus, it helps to know that we can be if we start from a point of being intentional about literacy. Literacy, defined as the ability to read and write, as well as competence and knowledge in a particular field or discipline, cannot be underestimated. When we read, we feed our spirit, heart and mind. When we write, we express our thoughts, our sentiments, our knowledge, and our experiences. That is why literacy, and learning for that matter, matters. If we approach life with a mindset of learning something new every day, we are already en route to progressive self-improvement. We can make learning a lifelong hobby if we care enough to do that for others and ourselves. So, no matter what our limitations in the digital space may be, our progress begins with wanting to learn what we don’t know. We can start from somewhere, anywhere, today.
