A man made disaster of global scale, And with it, it's huge implications prevail Our greatest threat in thousands of years, Waiting on the horizon for us.

Nature Tree Dawn
Forests are where animals can breed But trees are all gone because of greed There must be something that we can still do But do you care about the things around you -Yang This inspired me because nature brings joy, and it transforms us. It’s is like magic. It is the most precious gift that God gave us and we treat our environment badly, putting trash all over the seas and in the grass. It is time for us to look deeper into taking care of our environment. If we don’t care for the environment, animals will have no homes. We won’t be able to eat and receive food. Life wouldn’t exist without our...
Democratic Crisis Response: COVID-19 and Climate Change
In reflecting on what has unfolded since January 2020, it is worthwhile to assess the extent to which the COVID-19 pandemic can teach us about global action against climate change. We know that despite early claims of economic slowdown, decreasing carbon emissions were incorrect, and GHG emissions continue to rise at record-breaking levels. Parallels, however, between the global scale of COVID-19 and our climate crisis beg several questions about how democratic societies fare in times of crisis as effective mechanisms for upholding societal wellness. How have democratic societies responded to...

Why non-formal education is important (my experience)
In today's blog, I want to share why non-formal education is important. Before all, we need to understand the difference between non-formal and formal education. Formal education is the one that is provided in accredited educational institutions. While non-formal education is any form of education that does not lead to the acquisition of new qualifications or diplomas but includes organized learning processes or the improvement of personal and professional skills.
Maybe This Is World
Flowers bloom only when the sky cries, Rainbows are colorful only when the sun shines bright, There might be an earthquake deep below the ocean but from above we only see the waves giant, Fire only burns when there is a candle to hold it upright, Angels are possible only when the humans are kind, not when the demon's still in mind, Stars dazzle only when the night sky is dark. Maybe this is world, where miracles happen only when the disasters embark.
Youth is Victory
Society is a community or group of people having common traditions, institutions, interests, beliefs, purposes in association with others. Society consists of different people - elderly, adults, and youth, with the same goal or purpose: achieving victory for their land. This victory can be achieved in different ways, and one is by educating and enhancing youth. There are different ways of educating and enhancing youth for the future of society or even the country. First on the list is teaching them social skills and making them engage in social activities for good purpose and cause. This skill...
A Stagnant Walk Through Shallow Waters - A Short Story
As I laid down to fall asleep the last thing I heard was the static noise from the television and felt the early afternoon warmth. “The sun must be glad this afternoon.” I wondered if the sun would greet me with that same enthusiasm when I got up in the late afternoon that same day. I opened my eyes and instead I was met with the raging sun and a figure I couldn’t fully make out. It stared at me as I stared at it. I took a step forward, so did the figure before me. We were standing on shallow water. The atmosphere hissed but the figure did not flinch. The figure turned its back and began to...
Youth as Agents of Nation Building
“How wonderful it is that nobody need wait a single moment before starting to improve the world.” – Anne Frank, 'Anne Frank's Tales From The Secret Annex'. Youth are slowly taking over the world. Today, there are 1.2 billion young people aged 15 to 24 years, accounting for 16 per cent of the global population (United Nations n.d.). Youth are the torchbearers of the world and it is only right that we guide them by developing their skills, uplifting their spirits, holding them accountable, and believing in them as the future leaders and pioneers of society. Unbeknown to others, the effectiveness...
Education for Rural Youth
Education is an important thing that must be considered and obtained by everyone, including young people. At least everyone should have general knowledge to carry out their daily lives, develop their innovation and creativity. However, it turns out that not all young people get sufficient support to develop and broaden their horizons, one of which is in rural areas where sometimes there are still gaps and lack of support from the government so that they are left behind with young people in urban areas. Even though they also have the opportunity to get support and create new ideas that can...
