Run Against Cancer

On May 10, 2015 which it was on Mother’s Day, we, the organizers, have raised an event called ” run against cancer”. It was the 6 cancer awareness campaign. Have you heard about it?? It was organized by bong Monirath; we called her winner. There were two main cancers that we focused in the event. It was breast cancer and cervical cancer. Cervical and breast cancer are the two leading causes of cancer death in Cambodian women. Every two second, there is a women dies because of the cancers. The cancers mostly happened to women after they get married. They are very dangerous. Therefore, we try to raise public cancer awareness two times a year. And for this event, we made it at Koh Pich; the ticket was $5 but all Fund raised from ticket sales will be used for providing free breast and cervical screening for women.

Before the event came, The organizers had worked so hard on promoting the event and gone to many different schools to inform them about the event. And since we didn’t have the specific places to sell the tickets, we sometimes had to go to their places to sell the tickets. We undoubtably clear that 3 tickets are able to offer free screening to one woman. Consequently, it was worth going because our objective was to sell as many tickets as possible. Before a day of the event, we calculated the tickets sales, and we were all surprised that there were 1400 tickets were sold because we didn’t expect that much. On the event day, I arrived at Koh Pich at 5:30 morning, the team gave away 50 T-shirts to those who came early. The run started at 7:00. Before the run started, we danced to a hip-hop song as make-up exercise and then we started. It took only 1 hour to run 5km. And there are 6 winners. They received medal, certificate and some gifts from us. After that, we danced Madison dance to celebrate that our dancing is recorded in world record. Then, we danced penguin and chicken dance. It was so fun to me. We had photo session. We selfie with bong Many, with our team and with our friends. It was so happy. Oh, running can also help reduce the risk of getting those cancers. We highly recommend you to do more exercises. Any exercises are counted. Not only will you be healthy, but you will stay away from cancers as well.

To sum up, I am happy that I could involve in this event and help other women. For this campaign, there were 1300 runners and we have raised $8000 which we can help 500 women. It was a huge amount. Thank you indeed to our participators. Our next campaign will be held in October and we hope you can join and help women stay away from these dangerous cancers.

The importance of global cooperation

The importance of global cooperation

In this 21th century, the world is becoming closer and closer. It almost seems like a small community. International cooperation plays an vital role in tackling global issues. Global cooperation is obviously defined as the act of all countries working together to accomplish global issues and missions. The missions and issues of the global cooperation are environment, poverty, war, diseases, extinct animal so on and so forth. To solve these issues, it requires a huge amount of supports and efforts from other countries due to the fact that almost all countries are confronting the same issues. People not only fight with natural disaster but also fight with poverty. As a result, global cooperation is really fundamental. I will give you three incidents why global cooperation is extremely significant.

Firstly, global cooperation is important because it offers more job opportunities to the people in the developing countries. Clearly, some Asian countries have abundant human resources ;consequently, global cooperation is able to provide many jobs to the people in the developing countries by cooperating with developed countries all over the world. As a result, low-income families are employed and are capable of supporting their children to go to school. When children could go to school and absorb the knowledge, they have adequate capacities to enhance their countries better once they grow up.

Secondly, the importance of international cooperation is to fight the diseases. There are a barrage of illnesses occurring have killed a great deal of people. For instance, there was a disease called Ebola, which took place in Africa. A lot of scientists coming from both developed and developing countries collaborate to do the experiment and find the solution towards this disease. After a long hard work, they were able to cure this illness. The cooperation saved a lot of people lives. Without global cooperation, it would have been impossible to discover a cure.

Last but not least, global cooperation is vital because it can improve the lifestyles of farmers in the provinces by creating fair trade system. Fair trade is also known as international trade which it can affect to the world economy. Because there are many farmers who don’t get the amount of money as they deserve, fair trade system is fundamental to help farmers to get extra money. For example, a coffee farmer who produces the coffee beans receives less than 40% of the actual price while the coyote gets a huge amount of money by selling the goods to the exporters. Hence, fair trade organizations plays a leading role to fight against economic crisis and transforms the lives of farmers. The fair trade system is to make sure that farmers will get adequate money to support their family so that they are capable of having decent food to eat, sending their children to school and going to superb hospital when they are sick.

In conclusion, global cooperation is very crucial since it will save people lives, provide more jobs and help the world economy. It is true that when you are alone, you are weak. When you collaborate with others, your team is strong and is able to cope with all kind of problems on earth. As a saying goes “Untied we are strong, divided we fall.” Global cooperation allows people to collaborate and achieve the same goals.
