🧼💙 RHU UPI CELEBRATES GLOBAL HANDWASHING DAY! 🌍💧

Malinis na kamay, kalusugang alagaan, pamilyang protektahan! 🤲✨

Sa ating simpleng paghuhugas ng kamay, malaki ang nagagawa natin para mapanatiling malusog at ligtas ang ating mga pamilya at komunidad. 💙

Bilang pakikiisa sa pagdiriwang ng Global Handwashing Day, buong pusong isinusulong ng RHU Upi ang kahalagahan ng tamang paghuhugas ng kamay at wastong personal hygiene.

Sa pangunguna ng ating masipag, dedikado, at mahusay na Rural Sanitation Inspector, Mr. Kim Ivan Usi, EMT, naisagawa ang mga health education sessions sa iba’t ibang paaralan at barangay upang turuan at hikayatin ang ating mga kabataan at kapwa Upian na gawing bahagi ng pang-araw-araw na buhay ang wastong paghuhugas ng kamay at pagpapanatili ng kalinisan. 👏🫧

Maraming salamat, Mr. Kim Ivan Usi, EMT, sa iyong patuloy na dedikasyon at malasakit sa kalusugan ng ating mga kababayan! Sa pamamagitan ng iyong kaalaman at paglilingkod, mas maraming bata, pamilya, at komunidad ang nagkakaroon ng kamalayan sa kahalagahan ng kalinisan at pag-iwas sa sakit. 💚

Mga ka-Upian, huwag nating kalimutan: Ang malinis na kamay ay proteksyon para sa sarili, sa pamilya, at sa buong komunidad! 🫶

Sama-sama nating isabuhay ang kalinisan, dahil ang malusog na komunidad ay nagsisimula sa simpleng gawaing kaya nating gawin araw-araw! 💧

RHU Upi — Kaagapay sa kalusugan, katuwang sa pagbuo ng mas malusog na komunidad! 💙

October 10 is 𝙒𝙤𝙧𝙡𝙙 𝙈𝙚𝙣𝙩𝙖𝙡 𝙃𝙚𝙖𝙡𝙩𝙝 𝘿𝙖𝙮! 💙✨

“𝙊𝙠𝙖𝙮 𝙡𝙖𝙣𝙜 𝙖𝙠𝙤” — minsan totoo, minsan hindi.

Today, let’s make room for the real answer. Pwede kang mapagod, malito, umiyak, o magpahinga nang walang guilt. Hindi ka mahina, hindi ka pabigat, at hindi ka nag-iisa. 🫂

Let us work together to raise awareness, break stigma, and listen to the voices of individuals with mental health challenges. Through compassion and accessible mental health services, we can build a community where everyone feels heard, valued, and empowered to seek help.

Kamustahin ang sarili mo. Kamustahin din ang iba—hindi lang sa online, kundi sa totoong buhay. Minsan, ang simpleng “𝙆𝙖𝙢𝙪𝙨𝙩𝙖 𝙠𝙖 𝙩𝙖𝙡𝙖𝙜𝙖?” ay paalala na may nag-aalaga. 🌻

Your mind matters. Your feelings matter. You matter. 💙✨
