One of the largest issues that is currently facing our planet is climate change, which is brought on by global warming. Planting trees is one simple but significant step in reducing this issue.

Thirty-one volunteers, along with their three supportive advisers of the University of Perpetual Help System- Pueblo de Panay Senior Red Cross Youth joined the UGAT: A Simultaneous Tree Planting Activity, in line with the RCY MONTH 2023 Celebration. These volunteers have planted 30 mangrove seedlings at Barangay Culajao, Roxas City, Capiz, this October 14, 2023.

Plant trees and save lives! University of Perpetual Help System- Pueblo de Panay Senior Red Cross Youth is always ready to help! ❤️🤍

World Handwashing Day, celebrated every year on October 15th, serves as a global reminder of the fundamental importance of handwashing in preventing the transmission of infections and diseases. Hand hygiene has become essential for preventing disease transmission, ensuring food safety, lowering healthcare-related infections, and addressing broader public health concerns.

But it's not just about you – it's about all of us. Good handwashing isn't just good for your health, it's good for everyone's health. When we all wash our hands properly, we help stop the spread of diseases in our neighborhoods. That's super important because it keeps us from having big outbreaks and pandemics.

So, washing your hands is like a powerful tool that protects you and everyone around you. It's an easy and awesome way to make the world a healthier and safer place.
