Topic 2: CLEAN WATER...

 

Water is one of the most important basic we need to survive.

We can live a few days without food, but can't live without water

It's used for everything and we need it daily.

We drink it, wash ourselves with it, cook and clean the house... everything with WATER.

 

 

 

 

However, we should appreciate water more, for it's very valuable.

We have the right to access to clean water for everyone.

This drawing refers to that right that we as human beings schould have access to clean water.

There are many children who don't have access to clean water and sometimes have to get water out of a well or a tap that is shared with many other households.

Usually these taps are very far away from their homes.

They even have carry this water walking long distances to their homes.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Every gallon you save
There is one more for a other.

Some purified water from different companies in Suriname. 

 

Here is a description of purpose of one of the companies

Basic One

Basic One is natural water from the Zanderij aquifer and is aerated and filtrated through a shell filter by SWM NV, the largest local water supplier of the country. 
When the water arrives at Future Beverages NV it goes through various filters and through a UV lamp. The water is then ozonated before being bottled and distributed throughout the country by DTS NV.

Anton Resida school is one of the many users of basic one

Topic 3: HEALTH CARE

 

Children have so many rights. Some very importants rights are :

• right to education
• right to grow up in a safe and healthy environment
• right to play
• right to be protected by loves ones
• and many more....

 

In Suriname, unfortunately, just like in many other countries these rights  do not count for all children.

There are some children who already work to help with financial income.

Some households could not be called safe for domestic violence still plays part in many families.

The government and the Surinamese society should all work towards creating a happy and healthy environment for everyone....

Academic hospital has a basic care package which matches that of the general hospitals, namely the regular patient care and the training function for medical specialists.
