2012 Goals

I have set three Master Goals for 2012. While I am not going to share them specifically here- they are focussed around three main areas:

1. Fitness
2. Finance
3. Family and friends

I have set some sub goals that I believe, will help me achieve those Master goals.

At work, I have been working on our goals for People First-Total Solutions. There are some things we got really right in 2011 and a couple of things we need to improve on. Thank you for those who feedback to me about the good and the bad!

Happy to take suggestions for personal or professional goals.

What have you decided to achieve in 2012?

Let me know how I can help you reach your goals! 

Heres to a great year (I was not a fan of 2011)

World Changers: handwashing Day 15th October

UNICEF (United Nations Fund for Children’s Activities) declared 15th October Global Handwashing Day.

The purpose of Global Handwashing day is to raise awareness & promoting hand washing to school children and their parents. This might sound like an odd issue but every twenty seconds a child dies from a disease that could have been prevented.

On 15th October, teachers, NFPs, government officials, ambassadors and members of private sector people will raise awareness of hand washing with soap as a  powerful health intervention

There are some Fundamental facts:

1. Washing hands only with water is not enough!
2. Hand washing with soap can prevent children dying from diseases across the developing world
3. The important time for hand washing with soap is after usage of the toilet and before having food.
4. Hand washing with soap is the single and most productive health interventions-  Hand washing decreases the risk of not only diarrhea but also some severe symptoms such as cholera and dysentery by 48 to 59 %.

WASH YOUR HANDS

Teach your kids to wash their hands

I am amazed when I go into a public lavatory, how many people dont wash their hands? Or is it just a male thing?
