For your Blooms Only Once, ukhty:)

"Suddenly I knew well the man who turned into a beast, I was powerless to resist and ... finally ripped kesucianku .!!!"



Once the quotes and fragments of experience, call it Flowers, who destroyed his future seoerti capital reported by a newspaper. Sad, definitely so. Imagine, a sanctity which is maintained for a long time that will only be offered to men who are legitimate as a husband, now broke out in a few moments.



Flowers not alone. There are still many other Flowers 'honey has been sucked by male beetles'. There are frustrating, not a few who 'sell' yourself out of disappointment with the treatment of an irresponsible boyfriend. As experienced by Flower (21), call it so, a student in the city of flowers that become pramunikmat in a discotheque. Dara was derived from this family to give her virginity to the man admitted that he considered good and promised to marry her. "Because I love him, I will give 'everything' to him, because he promised to marry me", he said bitterly.



But what happened? He continued angrily, "Four years of my relationship with him in vain. Especially when I told him, that I was 'incorporated' in two, he did not care even told me to abort. I was obliged. "Is this the name of love?



Survey Proves



A study was jerking all circles, conducted by the Institute for the Study of Love and Business Training Center and the humanities (LSC Pusbih). The result, nearly 97.5% female students in Yogyakarta had lost her virginity. Even more tragic, it appears that all respondents admitted to having sex outside marriage conducted without coercion consensual aliases. Well you know ...!



We've been repeatedly surprised by the results of similar studies. Starting from the research 'cohabiting' earlier in 1984, up to a lot of similar studies conducted in various cities in Indonesia. The result, make our breast stroke ... how much damage to the younger generation now.



Why did it Happen?



As funny people who have become number one in this country, 'from the eyes down to the heart, from the heart down to the pants' really very pathetic and really happened. Meaningful cues eye gets a warm welcome, greeted each other and talked, continued until the liver becomes 'click'. Separated make eating uncomfortable, do not sleep the sleep. In mind is imagined only the him, the him again.



The meeting was repeated again in the stage reveals a sense of, 'shoot', so the term youth slang now. Happy because it was for the virgin who awaited time came, he too nodded in agreement to 'get together' in joy and sorrow. There is the ardent longing if not met, there is the love that dwells in the chest. Met if there is a love that is etched in the hearts to worship ...



Was predictable, such as an advertisement, the first impression is so full of tempting further sin ... even up to handle matters that are not worthy to do such recognition Flowers and Flower earlier. Could've been going out, street slang terms with, hollow without a handle, and sorry ... then you had already guessed it, because we did not deserve to express.



Islam has been warned to not approach adultery. Norm prevention is more effective in keeping things that are not good. Lower his gaze, the term child study groups ghadul Bashar is a very good beginning. "Say to the believing women:" Let them hold views and keep his cock ... "(Surat an-Nur: 31)



Looking even forbidden, let alone more than that. Are there people who are dating keep the view? Are there people who are dating without a get together and two-pair in a quiet place? Where men who go out there without hold - hold here?



Know, O my brother, if you love the man with the wrong path, then the end would be wrong, sorry. The man like that is not really serious in having love with you. If it is serious, he will enter through the doors officially as taught by our religion. Not familiar with dating let alone hang out. Most of them admitted seeing just for having fun, then do not be surprised if the left just after the 'honey' suck and throw yourself away.



Men, especially in contemporary times, think a thousand times-once again-, a thousand times to choose the life partner who is not a virgin and marry a woman where that has been 'down the engine', slang terms boy now.

While many young women now suda loss, minimal self-esteem. Even if virginity is still intact, the others? Therefore, keep your pride, because mekarmu only once ...!

Young people taking a leadership role in creating a culture of peace

After three years of development in concert with partners across the Movement, the International Federation of Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies (IFRC) has produced a skills-based toolkit designed to help youth become agents of behavioural change. The toolkit was launched at the 31st International Conference of the Red Cross and Red Crescent in Geneva at an event called ‘Promoting gender equality and a culture of non-violence and peace’.

The Youth as Agents of Behavioural Change (YABC) initiative was established in 2008 through the IFRC’s Principles and Values department and was officially recognized by the youth commission as an innovative way to empower young people to take a leadership role within the Movement. The first milestone was a call to National Societies to help create and share ‘innovative, interactive and playful materials’ that would focus on the seven Fundamental Principles of the Red Cross Red Crescent, and also promote non-discrimination, violence prevention, gender equality, social inclusion and intercultural dialogue. 30 National Societies joined the initiative, making over 300 contributions, from which the final toolkit was constructed.

Moshe Ohayon Danenberg, from Magen David Adom in Israel, said that an early meeting of the group set the tone of the project as a whole. “To start developing the toolkit, 15 National Societies from around the world gathered with the Principles and Values department in Switzerland,” he said. “From dawn to dusk we worked together, crafting the games, role plays and visualisation exercises, using the National Societies’ materials for inspiration. We also cooked and cleaned together. It gave me the opportunity to become friends with a National Society sister from the Egyptian Red Crescent.”

The toolkit was piloted at the 150th anniversary of the Red Cross Red Crescent in Solferino, Italy in June 2009. 20 National Society youth leaders worked with it across five workshops as peer educators and the impact was so great, that the Solferino Declaration – which underlies the commitment of youth from all parts of the Movement – officially recognised YABC as a flagship initiative to be supported by all National Societies.

Since then peer educators have been field testing the toolkit around the world, focusing on the development of interpersonal skills such as empathy, active listening, critical thinking, non-violent communication and mediation with the aim of fostering an environment where people are able to live peacefully together. YABC has so far been experienced at 20 national youth camps and gatherings, as well as five regional and five international meetings. Over 2,000 people have taken part in these events.

One participant said the initiative had the power to inspire, regardless of the experience and education of those taking part: “Art moves and inspires. It has the power to transform communities, to provoke thought and lead to insight, to change hearts and minds, and to inspire action. Using creative platforms enables us to arouse emotions and convey messages in a symbolic way.”

The latest version of the toolkit consists of 78 interactive activities, six presentations on social mobilization and creative platforms, a peer educator manual and guidelines on community engagement and project design.

The initiative is now being adopted by a growing number of organisations beyond the Red Cross Red Crescent, and has become a recurring theme at recent UN General Assemblies. Abu Bakar Jalloh, from the Sierra Leone Red Cross Society said the toolkit was making an enormous difference to the organization’s work with former child soldiers, sex workers and others. “This is a challenge, as everyone would realize. These are traumatized youth and children,” he said. “Our focus is on tolerance, and to tolerate means that we still embrace them. For YABC it is inclusiveness that makes it unique.”

Make Life Blood Donor

Red Cross Branch Jakarta Indonesia Jakarta invites residents to make blood donation as a lifestyle. Donating blood is not just an emergency response action or social activity, but also form healthy habits.

"As is often said to Mr. JK (PMI Chairman Jusuf Kalla Center, red), blood donors should be a lifestyle community that has many health benefits," said Head of the Regional Red Cross Blood Transfusion Unit of Jakarta Salimar Salim in the blood donor event Silverians Generation Association Big 86 at the Office of the PMI, Senen, Central Jakarta, Sunday (10/09/2011). He explained, for many people, blood donors is only done when there are relatives or relatives need blood.

There are also people who donate blood at the time held the activities of certain groups or institutions. "Personal initiative to become a regular donor is still limited in number," said Salimar. Former Head of Jakarta's Hospital Haji said, there are many benefits to personal health behind blood donor. When we bleed, the body will immediately produce new blood is more clean and stable levels of iron. Another benefit is to reduce the disturbance of heart disease and reduce the burden on the kidneys. Regular donors also indirectly have their health checked regularly because of health conditions and blood donors will also be examined by officers.

Salimar hope that donors who have knowledge of health workers can share information with other people to motivate them in blood donors. Currently the number of requests to the Red Cross Blood Establishments reach 1100 bags per day. Under normal conditions outside the month of Ramadan, PMI Jakarta able to meet these needs through direct donor about 200-300 bags per day. "We can also transfusion of vehicles moving back and forth, can be up to 800 bags," he said. Nevertheless, he hoped the number of regular donors will continue to grow in order to meet emergency needs that are difficult to predict the amount.

PMI Target Blood 4.5 million bags in 2012

Blood stock in Indonesia is still less than the requirement that each year reached 4.8 million bags.

For this reason, the General Chairman of the Red Cross Indonesia, Jusuf Kalla said, PMI attempted to reach the blood stock of 4.5 million bags in 2012.

"God willing, next year as it reached 4.5 million bags (to close) our needs. But whatever, (depending) our efforts, all highly dependent, are determined by voluntary donors as is present today," said JK when giving a speech in the conferment ceremony honors Satyalancana Social Worship to 1329 volunteer blood donors who had donated blood 100 times, Tuesday (13/12).

The need for blood in Indonesia each year to reach 4.8 million bags. At present, derived from voluntary blood donors which is about 70% or about 3.4 million bags.

"So far, we are voluntarily contributing approximately 70% -80%. Because, in addition to voluntary donors, there is also a donor name a replacement. That is the family that if his brothers had difficulty. If not available at the red cross, then they donate for his family. But we brusaha hard that the number of voluntary donors will be much larger, so replacement is not too big donors, "he said.

To improve blood donors, Jusuf Kalla explained that there are several steps that have been planned. First, fix the whole system of national blood donor, repairing all units of blood donors in the whole province reached 212 units of blood donors PMI, and there are 202 units of blood donors in hospitals throughout Indonesia.

Second, improve and build the blood donor units in shopping malls and college campuses to meningkatkn youth participation. Then, add 100 cars a blood donor units spread throughout Indonesia for the community closer. "So the people who visited, not the people who come," he said.

The awarding of honors is granted directly by President Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono.

Donating Blood For Money

Classic scenery and views are frightening people about blood donation in the form of social activity varies greatly. One view their negativ towards social action is sometimes mistaken, between the Voluntary Blood Donors with Donor Substitute. As a Voluntary Blood Donation is our actions to donate blood regularly once every 3 months without any pressure from any party. While donor substitutes more urgent direction in which the donated blood for other people whether it be family or even people we do not know at all. Replacement donors is what makes the idea that "Blood Donor" paid.

Mistaken view of the above seems to have occurred in recent years. People who donate blood voluntarily did not expect payment from anyone, be it official UTD PMI or any other party. While Donor Substitute if it was not from family members of patients, the patient's family should give the party a little fortune as a sign of gratitude to the donor such successor. Here is very clear that it is voluntary Blood Donor, there is no element of coercion, and if any who got the money / wages is only a sign of retribution / thank you for willing to donate blood Donor # Substitute.

Other communities outside the Indonesian Red Cross was allowed to present possible, because the theme is a national volunteer day. Special memories for me personally is when the event occurs earthquake in Central Java and Yogyakarta on May 26, 2006.

Every human being in this world must have a social life andcommunity. In every action we sometimes have always upheld the norms to be obeyed as well.

Various activities and hobbies of each individual to make us tend to want to feel the action or actions of other individuals. This is reasonable because we tend to get bored of somethingsustainable. The desire to entertain themselves always come at any time. Alternative I want to say one of them is the start of something new, for example, wrote in a blog. These recommendations can we do when we feel bored or even when it appears a new idea where we will have thoughts and brilliant ideas who want to be poured into any blog or paper media.

Other actions that can make us feel comforted is by hanging out with friends near us. Here we can get an idea or a new science-related themes that we are thinking or even new.

HIV, AIDS, and Sexually Transmitted Infections

Every 24 hours, an estimated 7,000 people are infected with HIV and more than 1 million contract a sexually transmitted infection (STI). Currently, an estimated 33.3 million people are living with HIV today, and in Sub-Saharan Africa—the region hit hardest by the pandemic—the majority of 15- to 24-year-olds living with HIV is female. Today, 23% of all people living with HIV are under age 24, while 35% of all new infections happen among people between 15 to 24 years of age. Clearly, the need for quality HIV, AIDS, and STI services is more important than ever.

While HIV treatment is becoming more widely available in developed countries, such treatment still eludes many people living in the world’s poorest communities. Current health care systems in most of the developing world struggle to provide even the most basic health services. In these places, not only is medication often unavailable, but health care providers are not adequately trained to help patients prevent HIV or STIs or to treat or counsel patients living with HIV or AIDS. Additionally, health workers often discriminate against people living with HIV and perpetuate the stigma surrounding HIV in their workplaces and communities.
