World Rivers Day • September 28

Every river tells the story of how we live. What’s yours saying?

Rivers and Community: Flowing Together for a Sustainable Future

Rivers are more than water. They feed us, move us, and keep life alive. But now they’re also showing what we’ve done wrong.

This year’s theme—“Rivers and Community: Flowing Together for a Sustainable Future”—calls us to act. Climate change, driven by human choices, is reshaping rivers. Waste from factories, plastic from cities, forests cut down—all of it ends up in the flow. Add stronger rains, melting ice, and hotter summers, and the rivers carry the damage straight back to us.

In many countries, rivers are still a way of living—fishermen throw their nets and bring food home. But in big cities, where rivers are poisoned and blocked by trash, that life has already vanished. It shows how the health of a river decides the life of a community.

Still, rivers can heal if we let them. When a community protects its river, it protects its own future. Planting trees, keeping trash out, and guarding the banks—small acts that can turn the tide.

Floods aren’t just nature’s work—they strike harder when rivers are clogged, poisoned, and stripped of trees. How we treat rivers decides how rivers will treat us.

World Rabies Day • September 28

What not to do after a bite or scratch, the right first aid, and how you, me, and the community can act now against rabies.

Act Now: You, Me, Community

Rabies kills, but it doesn’t have to. It’s 100% preventable—yet people still die because of panic, delay, or wrong advice. This year’s theme is a clear call: Act Now. You, Me, Community.

First, What NOT To Do

When a bite or scratch happens, the first instinct is often wrong.

Don’t squeeze the wound or try to “let the saliva out.” It spreads the virus deeper.

Don’t rub garlic, vinegar, or oil—these don’t heal, they harm.

Don’t wait for symptoms—once rabies signs appear, it’s already too late.

The Right First Aid

Here’s what saves lives:

1. Wash the wound under running water with soap for at least 15 minutes.

2. Disinfect with iodine or alcohol.

3. Cover loosely with a clean cloth or bandage.

4. Go immediately to the nearest health center or hospital for rabies shots.

You

• Vaccinate your dogs and cats.
• Treat every bite or scratch as serious, no matter how small.
• Remember: licks on open skin, eyes, or mouth can also spread rabies.

Me

• Be a responsible pet owner.
• Share truth, not myths.
• Support rabies campaigns and set the example.

Community

• Organize free or low-cost vaccination drives.
• Teach children and families the right steps.
• Push leaders to keep human and animal vaccines ready and affordable.

Rabies doesn’t only come from dogs. Cats, bats, monkeys, even farm animals can carry it. And it’s not only from bites—scratches and licks can spread it too.

You act. I act. We act together. Rabies has no cure—but it has an end, if we act now.
