World water day & American diabetes alert day.

Today is World Water day , in 1992 the UN designated 22nd March

each year as world water day and events are held all over the

world to raise awareness of of the fact that millions of people

around the world have no access to safe drinking water.

About 2 million people a year (mainly children) die of water

borne diseases which makes it  the worlds single biggest killer.

 

Here are a couple of video’s  i found on YouTube about world water day.

Today is also American Diabetes Alert day  an intuitive in America by the

American Diabetes Association  to raise awareness of people to weather they

are at risk of developing type 2 Diabetes.

As i wrote in an earlier post almost a third of the people in the UK who have

Diabetes do not know about it , so the amount of people in the USA who have

it and do not know will run into millions.

I think this alert day is a very good idea and as far as i know we do not have a day

like this in the UK, though we do have Diabetes Week (12 – 18 June)
