What about the Environment?
What about sunrise That rises over the hill top ‘Top of the morning’ to you my dear Said the friendly face Now faced with the question of his sustainability What about… what about rain That refreshes and replenishes the earth, to make it alive again You’ve created regimes and policies Stating we have so much to gain Are you insane!! you are hurting our environment, Now we are all faced with the judgment Due to our misguided agreement to succumb to mismanagement Now I can no longer see…. the sun…set It became a prisoner by the fog, that clouds the air Making it hard to breathe, To breathe the...

Change for every child in Kazakhstan
To a lot of people, Kazakhstan is still a mystery. After I published my first article, a lot of readers messaged me to know about the situation of children in Kazakhstan. On World Children’s Day, with the release of the Situation Analysis from UNICEF Kazakhstan, I am sharing my two cents in this article to cherish the tremendous achievements and indicate the remaining challenges ahead for every child in Kazakhstan Children and adolescents in Kazakhstan constitute 31.4% of the total population, which means 1 out of 3 citizens is a child. The vast proportion of children in Kazakhstan requires...
Can we close the gap?
God forbid we have rights
Hey there girl with the mini skirt, don't go out looking like that. it's just too provocative. I mean God forbid women have legs, right? Oh, and girl with the pants and the dress that touches her ankles, and the women from 100 years ago who wore layers of clothes. you too. You were showing too much skin. God forbid women have thighs, and arms, and worst of all, dignity and respect. Hey there, going somewhere? Well, you should just stay inside that way nobody can get to you. That is unless you lock yourself in a closet because your dad, or your brother, or your uncle may like girls in pajamas...

Creativity in translation
Splendid books deserve to be shared, just like fantastic movies or music. I have translated excerpts in Chinese from books and poems to English. They are treasures that belong to the world, and I don’t want to see them trammeled by the scopes of language. A good piece of translation is part of the creative process, not a mechanical exercise that is easily done with a computer. A computer can translate words, but they can't translate feelings. Computer-generated translations can be grammatically correct, but lack imagination. When we start to draw the images that hide in our head and lead them...
A letter about the ¨Migration Crisis¨ from a Honduran girl
There are ways to solve social/political problems. It's understandable that countries may not react positively to foreign people entering their territories, but it is also understandable that there are human ways to solve conflicts. Tear gas, hitting, discrimination, among many other things are some of the situations that migrants are dealing with. This is a TOTAL violation of their human rights. This is not about migrants from Honduras alone, it is about humanity and the way we are ending it ourselves. There are hundreds of people from Central American countries migrating who are suffering...

Current Events, Climate Change and Your Health
With the two climate strikes that happened in September, important conversations are happening about what needs to be done to improve the planet for future generations. Surrounding the dates of the United Nations Climate Action Summit, strikers across the world demanded climate justice for everyone. The demands included an end to the age of fossil fuels, as well as an energy revolution with climate justice and equity as its driving factor. The climate strikes — which have involved everyone from school-aged children to senior citizens — show that climate change is no longer an issue that can be...
Racial Discrimination: a deadly poison
Racism is not just an added stress to individuals of minority ethnic groups, but is a pathogen which generates depression. Racism usually occurs at workplace and schools and is mostly experienced by immigrants and refugees. The immigrants and refugees are often taken advantage as labour force, human trafficking and even cases of rape and child marriage. Their human rights must be protected, so they will have the right to life and liberty, freedom from slavery and torture, freedom of opinion and expression, the right to work and education to eradicate poverty, and end child marriage. Being...
