My Favorite Photos From flickr

Today 10th October 2008 is observed as World Mental Health Day. The WHO theme for this year is “Building awareness – reducing risk: mental illness and suicide”.

Here is the juicy part of what I did! I was googling to find celebrities who are Goodwill ambassadors for this programme. But could not find one. Oh no! I tried something else! Then out of curiosity, I tried to search flickr with the search word, “Suicide!” What a surprise! I got a lot of funny and informative pictures (to be frank some are really horriable!!) with denotive and connotive meaning of suicide. Here are those photos, just for laughs (;-)

December 1st of every year is celebrated as World AIDS day to bring awareness about HIV/ AIDS. Governments around the world are working to create awareness about AIDS among their citizens. In Argentina as part of awareness campaign in the year 2005, the government has erected a monument in the capital Buenos Aires. The monument is called “Obelisk of Buenos Aires.” The monument is nothing but a 67 m long "condom!"


Hope citizens got a BIG awareness campaign

Mother’s milk contains the nutrients that suits the baby's demand and has immunoglobulins to fight against disease. If you are a expectant or a new mother this is a must see video. This video some basic problems related to breast feeding.
