I got up early hours by
4.30 a.m and took my daughter along with me to the venue, and was happy to see
quite of lot of youngsters from different colleges, also from NGOs and Nursing
school students. As we moved along, there was high level of energy in the air
with slogans relate to suicide prevention, students/volunteers/NGOs with
banners & placards.
This year’s theme is “Take a minute, change a life” if each
of us commits to give a minute to those in distress, we can make a definite
difference. Suicide is a cry for help, an opportunity to give hope to the one
who feels not only hopeless, but looks for a permanent solution to a temporary
problem.
There are so many
examples of persons: who were rescued, because there was one soul willing to -
give time, listen without judging, smile and hold hand, hug to communicate they
are not alone in their battles; and some who have gone out of the way and
linked them to the right places where they could get help.
Whatever little one can
do to save a life; let’s do it – none of us are called to walk alone, we are
powerful when we are together.
Together we walk!!
Together we make a Difference in the lives of those in distress.
Suicide Prevention is everyone’s responsibility!! Let us spread awarenessJ
