Sponsored Video:Bantu kami merayakan ulang tahun ke-5 setiap anak

-
Hari itu, kebahagiaan Gondappa tak dapat dilukiskan dengan kata-kata karena pertama kali ia bisa melihat anaknya mampu bertahan hidup sampai merayakan hari ulang tahunnya yang kelima. Sebagai ucap syukur, Gondappa melakukan handwalk (berjalan dengan kedua tangannya dengan posisi kepala di bawah dan kaki di atas) dari rumahnya di Desa Thesgora ke kuil setempat.

Tahukah anda bahwa dua juta anak meninggal setiap tahun tanpa bisa merayakan hari ulang tahun kelima akibat diare dan Pneumonia? Penyebabnya karena kuranganya pengetahuan dan kesadaran akan pentingnya kebersihan, seperti mencuci tangan dengan sabun. Kegiatan sederhana hanya dengan mencuci tangan tangan dengan sabun mampu mengurangi resiko diare sampai 42-47%, tetapi hanya 2% ibu-ibu yang tinggal di desa Thesgora membiasakan anak-anaknya mencuci tangan untuk menjaga kesehatan.

Menurut Badan Kesehatan Dunia (WHO) di Indonesia sendiri, 100.000 anak Indonesia meninggal tiap tahunnya karena terjangkit diare. Padahal resiko ini dapat dicegah dengan kegiatan sederhana mencuci tangan dengan sabun.

Lifebuoy sejak sepuluh tahun terakhir telah mencoba mencegah kematian ini dengan cara mengajarkan tindakan sederhana mencuci tangan dengan sabun. Didirikan tahun 1895 oleh Lever Brothers, Lifebouy diperkenalkan untuk menanggulangi wabah kolera saat itu. Tahun 1917, William Hesketh Lever memperoleh penghargaan titel Lord Leverhulme karena sumbangannya di bidang kesehatan dan hygenitas.

Lifebuoy berkomitmen untuk membawa gerakan cuci tangan pakai sabun melalui berbagai kegiatan amal ke Thesgora dan desa-desa lain di dunia untuk meningkatkan taraf kesehatan. Gerakan sederhana ini akan memastikan tiap anak yang lahir dapat hidup untuk merayakan hari ulang tahun mereka yang kelima.

Anda juga ikut membantu mendukung gerakan sederhana ini  dan membantu agar setiap anak dapat merayakan hari ulang tahun mereka yang kelima. Berikan janji Anda untuk mendukung gerakan ini di Lifebuoy Facebook page.

Swastika symbol in Bali?

-
Swastika sign can be seen in Bali, especially in Balinese Hindu temple. I must say almost all the Hindu Balinese are familiar to this symbol. Besides temple, one can also see it in houses, or community building. Even the 'Swastika' word is used as a person name, for example, Ketut Swastika. But why and what does Swastika mean? It simply means balance in relationship. The Balinese Hindu see the life is ideal when they live a balanced life indicated by three good relationship. The first is good relationship between human and the Almighty God. All the festivals, offering in temples, praying activity that you witness in Bali are examples that the Balinese really long for a great relationship with Sang Hyang Widhi Wasa, The Almighty God. Next, the harmonious relationship among the human race. The Balinese values good relationship between themselves. Many activities in villages in Bali involve community of villagers . When one family in a certain village hold a ceremony such as cr...

Is Cow a Sacred Animal in Bali?

-
The answer you get of this question may vary if you ask different people. The priest may say, yes it is. But many Balinese, although they are Hindu, consume beef. And people in Bali breed cows for meat. You will not see cow wander in the streets, because they are just cattle. Some people don't eat beef because they think they should not eat beef because they think it is a sacred animal. They say they will have a headache if they do so. Well, may be because of the cholesterol or some thing like that. And another thing, we don't consume cow milk or any other milk in the past. We just recently do this, because it is been advertised a lot in the media, that milk is healthy for our body. But many of the older generations, many of our parents or grand parents don't fancy milk. They don't drink milk, they'd rather drink coffee than drinking milk. I can understand that, because milk taste awful sometimes. Oh, did I mention that our cow doesn't produce any milk? Their mi...

Why Can't A Woman in Period Enter A Temple?

"Sorry, I can't go to the temple this full moon. I have my period," that's what Made, a friend of mine, once said to me when we talked about going to a temple. In Bali, women talk openly about their menstruation especially when it is related to temple activities. There is nothing embarrassing about that. But instead of saying in period, they merely say that they have their "monthly guest" coming. When you visit a temple in Bali, you must not be in your period when entering temple complex. Why is that? People, especially the lady tourists, ask with inquisitive and accusing look at me that we don't treat our Balinese women fairly. Okay, let me tell you, that is not the case. There some reasons why people are not allowed to enter the temple, this is called cuntaka (pronounced chun ta ka). If there is a mourning because of there is a death in one family, they can not go to the temple. Because it will cause the temple "leteh" or dirty. The woman wh...
