World Food Day,16 October:"Food prices - from crisis to stability".
Can you believe that there is enough food in the world for everyone !!.
Then why there is famine in Somalia!!
World Food Day, 16 October 2011
This year theme is
"Food prices - from crisis to stability".
Food prices - from crisis to stability
Price swings, upswings in particular, represent a major threat to food security in developing countries. Hardest-hit are the poor. According to the World Bank, in 2010-2011 rising food costs pushed nearly 70 million people into extreme poverty.
“FOOD PRICES – FROM CRISIS TO STABILITY” has been chosen as this year’s World Food Day theme to shed some light on this trend and what can be done to mitigate its impact on the most vulnerable.
On World Food Day 2011, let us look seriously at what causes swings in food prices, and do what needs to be done to reduce their impact on the weakest members of global society. (source)

World Teachers' Day
World Teachers' Day, held annually on October 5th since 1994, commemorates teachers’ organizations worldwide. Its aim is to mobilise support for teachers and to ensure that the needs of future generations will continue to be met by teachers.
According to UNESCO, World Teachers' Day represents a significant token of the awareness, understanding and appreciation displayed for the vital contribution that teachers make to education and development.
Education International (EI) (the global union federation that represents education professionals worldwide) strongly believes that World Teachers' Day should be internationally recognized and celebrated around the world. EI also believes that the principles of the 1966 and 1997 Recommendations should be considered for implementation in all nations.
Over 100 countries observe World Teachers' Day. The efforts of Education International and its 401 member organisations have contributed to this widely spread recognition. Every year, EI launches a public awareness campaign to highlight the contributions of the teaching profession. ( source )

International Day of Non-Violence
The International Day of Non-Violence is observed on 2 October, the birthday of Mohandas Gandhi. This day is referred to in India as Gandhi Jayanti.
In January 2004, Iranian Nobel laureate Shirin Ebadi had taken a proposal for an International Day of Non-Violence from a Hindi teacher in Paris teaching international students to the World Social Forum in Bombay. The idea gradually attracted the interest of some leaders of India's Congress Party ("Ahimsa Finds Teen Voice", The Telegraph, Calcutta) until a Satyagraha Conference resolution in New Delhi in January 2007 initiated by Sonia Gandhi and Archbishop Desmond Tutu called upon the United Nations to adopt the idea.
On 15 June 2007 the United Nations General Assembly voted to establish 2 October as the International Day of Non-Violence. The resolution by the General Assembly asks all members of the UN system to commemorate 2 October in "an appropriate manner and disseminate the message of non-violence, including through education and public awareness."

Down Syndrome Awareness
Another awareness in this beautiful month "October".
Down Syndrome Awareness Month.
I could babble a lot about Down Syndrome but I don't think that we should understand something to accept it or the people who have it. We must love and respect all people no matter what, Is not that unconditional love ?.
Watch the videos they are worth it :)
please click on " Watch on Youtube" it's so worth watching.

Breast Cancer Awareness
The doctor said I should come and visit her after six month and if there is nothing wrong, then no need for more visits. Sadly, I didn't go until now, making it almost another 6 months :(
Anyway, here is more about Breast Cancer Awareness which falls in this month : October.
Breast Cancer Awareness Month (BCAM) (also referred to in America as National Breast Cancer Awareness Month (NBCAM)) is an annual international health campaign organized by major breast cancer charities every October to increase awareness of the disease and to raise funds for research into its cause, prevention, diagnosis, treatment and cure. The campaign also offers information and support to those affected by breast cancer.
As well as providing a platform for breast cancer charities to raise awareness of their work and of the disease, BCAM is also a prime opportunity to remind women to be breast aware for earlier detection. (Source)
During Breast Cancer Awareness Month each October, people raise money by organizing activities such as theme parties or a "pink day" (when employees wear pink clothing or accessories) at work. The money raised is donated to the organizers' choice of breast cancer care or research programs.(Source)
There is a MALE breast cancer, too. Shocking !!!
Here is a project called (Scar Project) .
Before you click on the link you have to know that most of the pictures are disturbing -but is not what all diseases are, disturbing- that shows women's breasts after they have gone under the knife and some contains nudity.

9/11
Do things happen for a reason ?. I would hate the answer "yes" .But when things happen they do change a lot of ideas and people...
I still remember what I was doing when 9/11 happen, I still remember the exact place I was sitting in.
It's a tragic event whether we like to admit it or not.. 9/11 was one of the first events that I could disapprove of immediately when it happened. The first time I was called an "infidel" by someone for making it clear that I am against "the Taliban". 9/11 opened my eyes to a lot of injustices around the world. 9/11 made me have the power to stand for the injustice and say that it's.
But how do you react against"injustices" by committing one yourself is a tough task and America has failed in that. The invasion of Afghanistan and Iraq is the most clear example .
Having 14 Saudi out of the 19 terrorist changed Saudi Arabia a lot.
A huge religious debate have started after 9/11 and never stopped . We have a wider range of freedom because of 9/11. I guess the government tried to prove to the world that not every Saudi is a terrorist made huge changes.
The notion of what about us ? What about our victims ? wont make it right. You can not ask people to care about your victims while you are dancing on the graves of their loved ones.
The number of people died in the Arab spring all over the Arab countries will reach the number of people died in 9/11, if it's not already. Do we know their names? ages?dreams and hopes?. Are we ready to remind the world of them every year? What about the ones died in Iraq and still ?
That's why America is powerful, people count there, people are important.And we will only be as powerful when the people count not the presidents. When we are all the same and no one is more important than the rest.
