  • Without Us, It Has No Meaning – The World Is Embracing This Principle Now

    Without Us, It Has No Meaning – The World Is Embracing This Principle Now

    I’m thrilled to see that the “Nothing Without Us” principle is becoming a global standard, accepted by major organizations around the world. The European Union has clearly declared “Nothing without persons with disabilities” as its guiding principle for working with the approximately 90 million people with disabilities in Europe. The European Parliament held its 3rd Disability Rights Week, where people with disabilities were actively involved in every activity — not just talked about. The United Nations in South Africa has also called for making the inclusion of people with disabilities non-negotiable. Canada and the Commonwealth are building systems based on…

    31 May, World No Tobacco Day – The Day You Reclaim Your Freedom 🚭

    Every 31 May is World No Tobacco Day. The WHO declared it in 1988 — tobacco is among the world’s leading preventable causes of death and illness. In Thailand, lung cancer kills about 40 people daily, with over 17,000 new cases per year — every number is “preventable.” Secondhand smoke is equally alarming: family, coworkers, and bystanders inhale it involuntarily. But we are not standing still. Thailand has steadily advanced tobacco control — from plain packaging with graphic warnings, minimum-age laws, to public campaigns. Another hope: the younger generation. The Salaya NoNicGen project by Mahidol University and ThaiHealth mobilizes medical…
