‘ We are Grateful ‘
መጋቤት 30/2014 ዓ.ም
እነሆ ዛሬ #የምስጋና ቀናችን ነው!
#ለምስጋና #ደስ እያለን ፤ #ስለተደረገልን ነገሮች ፣ #በእኛ በኩል ለማህበረሰባችን ስለተከናወኑት ክንውኖች እና ምርጥ ስኬቶቻችን ለማሰብ…. እንዲሁም
#በማስተዋል ለሚገባው ሁሉ- እውቅና ለመስጠት ፤ በምስጋና መንፈስ በመሆን ለመሰባሰብ….. ፍቃደኛም ስለሆንን – እናንተን እና እድሉን የሰጠን አምላክ ክብርና ምስጋና ይድረስው እላለሁ!!!
የመጭው ዘመን ግማሽ ድል፥ ያለፈውን ዘመን ጉዞ በምስጋና ዘግቶ ፥ ከበረው ልምድም ተምሮ ፣ የጎደለውን ነገር ለመሙላት ተዘጋጅቶ … የመጭውን ዘመን በእምነትና ተስፋ ፥ በድል መንፈስ (ፈጣሪን በመፍራት መንፈስ) የመሞላትና በራዕይ ሃይልና ጉልበት ፥ አጥርቶ በማየት ጉዞ መጀመር መቻል ነው!
የድል ጉዞ ሌላኛው አምድ:- የግለሰቦች አመስጋኝ መሆን መቻል ፥ ይመስለኛል ። ለራሳቸው ከሚኖራቸው ክብርና ለእውነት የሚኖራቸው ወገንተኝነት ፣ የአላማ ታማኝነት እንዲሁም በተሰማሩበት ሃላፊነትና የሙያ ዘርፍ በብቃትና በጥራት ስራን የማከናወን አቅም ፤ በቡድን ስራ ውስጥ ለሚኖር ስኬት ሚናው ትልቅ መሆኑን ተምሬለሁ!
ሌላኛው የቡድን መንፈስ ጥንካሬ እና ጉልበት ትሁታን የቡድን አባላት መኖራቸው መሆኑንም ሌላኛው ትምህርቴ ነው።
ትሁታን ደግሞ አሪፍ አመስጋኝ ናቸው።
በተጨማሪም
የቡድን ስራ ስኬታማነት ፦
ራዕይ ፣ አላማ እና ግብን በግልፅ መረዳት መቻል ፥ ከላይ ከገለፅነው ስብዕና ጋር ሲደመር ለፈጠራ ስራ እንዲሁም አንድኛችን ሌላኛችንን በመደገፍና በመረዳዳት ( መቋሚያ በመሆን ) ለጋራ ውጤታችን እንድንሰራ የሚያደርገ መንገድ ነው።
በዚህ ሁሉ ሰው በእውነተኛ ጉዞ ውስጥ ምስጋናን የሚያቀርብበት የህይወት ስርአት አለው ማለት ፥ ይሄ ሰው የተሳካለት ነው! ለማለት እወዳለሁ!
መቋሚያም በእውነት የማህበረሰቡ ድጋፍ ለመሆን የሚያስችላትን ጉልበት ለማግኘት በአመስጋኝነት መንፈስ ውስጥ መሆኖን ወድጀዋለሁ!
ምስጋና
#ለፈጣሪ

World No Tobaco Day
2021-05-31
World No Tobacco Day – Press Release (Capital Hotel Addis Ababa, Ethiopia)
A press release was issued by the media regarding the day. Her Excellency Dr. Liya Tadesse, Health Mister, and EFDA Director-General Heran Gerba and guests in attendance.
****************************
WHO has recently launched a year-long global campaign for World No Tobacco Day 2021 – “Commit to Quit”. This campaign aims to support 100 million people worldwide in their attempt to give up tobacco through various initiatives and digital solutions. It will help create healthier environments that are conducive to quitting tobacco by:

advocating for strong tobacco cessation policies
promoting increased access to cessation services
raising awareness of tobacco industry tactics
empowering tobacco users to make successful attempts to quit through “quit & win” initiatives.

The COVID-19 pandemic has led to millions of tobacco users wanting to quit. However, quitting tobacco is challenging, especially with the added social and economic stresses brought about by the pandemic.
Worldwide, around 780 million people say they want to quit, but only 30% of them have access to the tools that can help them to overcome both physical and mental addictions to tobacco. Together with partners, WHO will provide people with the tools and resources they need to make a successful attempt at quitting.
Quitting tobacco has major and immediate health benefits
There are immediate and long-term health benefits to quitting tobacco. After just 20 minutes of quitting smoking, the heart rate drops. Within 12 hours, the carbon monoxide level in the blood drops to normal. Within 2–12 weeks, the circulation improves and lung function increases. Within 1–9 months, coughing and shortness of breath decrease. Within 5–15 years, the stroke risk is reduced to that of a non-smoker. Within 10 years, the lung cancer death rate is about half that of a smoker. Within 15 years, the risk of heart disease is that of a non-smoker.
Policies and capacity for tobacco cessation in WHO European Region must improve
Cessation policies are still among the least implemented of all WHO Framework Convention on Tobacco Control demand reduction measures, with only 8 countries providing best-practice cessation services in the European Region, the majority of which are high-income countries.
Governments should recognize this unmet need and act on it as part of a comprehensive tobacco control strategy. Population-level, cost-effective tobacco cessation interventions must be a priority for countries. At the same time, innovation is to be encouraged and mobile technologies should be fully harnessed to improve access to large and hard-to-reach populations.
Digital solutions to help the world’s 1.3 billion tobacco users to quit
WHO set up the new Access Initiative for Quitting Tobacco, which gives people, among other things, free access to digital counseling. WHO has partnered with tech companies like Facebook, WhatsApp and Soul Machines to raise awareness and support tobacco users to quit with the help of chatbots and digital health workers. For instance, Florence, a digital counselor, based on artificial intelligence, helps people develop a personalized plan to quit tobacco and guides them to available mobile apps and toll-free quitlines in their countries. Meanwhile, the Quit Challenge on WhatsApp provides signed-up tobacco users with free messages on how to quit, directly to their mobile phones.
These and other global and regional cessation tools will be rolled out as part of the campaign for World No Tobacco Day 2021, which will reiterate once again that strong cessation services improve health, save lives and save money.

TRAINING OF TRAINERS FOR ETHIOPIA ON THE UNIVERSAL CURRICULUM FOR PREVENTION/TREATMENT OF SUBSTANCE USE DISORDERS
2019-04-19 - 2019-04-25 | Cherchil Hotel, Addis Ababa, Bole, Ethiopia
Addiction is a disease!
Just as an individual can fall ill, so too can a community. When an individual is physically sick, their body is affected. Similarly, when a community is sick, its social fabric is disrupted. And when that happens, the nation itself becomes ill.
Studies suggest that an individual’s psychological, physical, and spiritual pain can transform into social, economic, and political suffering. For this reason, social scientists rank addiction among the most serious afflictions capable of causing severe harm.
Addiction takes control of the sufferer’s brain and distorts its natural functioning. The individual falls under the sway of a distorted mental system, driven by an overwhelming and uncontrollable craving – they become enslaved. When a person who uses drugs or alcohol crosses the line from use to addiction, the damage escalates. Beyond the harm to their internal organs and mental health, their social and economic life collapses. This inflicts a severe blow on the family, the foundation of the nation. The cumulative effect destabilizes the country. Yet, despite its gravity, this disease has long been neglected, without the attention it deserves.
This disease is not only an enemy to the peace of individuals and families; studies also indicate that it can undermine national peace, cripple the economy, and lead to political instability.
Addiction is preventable and treatable!
Therefore, treating this disease like any other – through medical care, rehabilitation, prevention, and the enactment and enforcement of protective laws – can lay a foundation to save the nation from severe harm and propel the younger generation toward greater development.
To date, the scale, depth, and spread of the problem, and the immense damage it has caused, remain astronomically far from our efforts to overcome and control it – a gap as vast as heaven and earth.
It is known that for the past ten years, Meqoamia Community Development Organization (MCDO) has been working to address the severe shortage of professionals in this field and to elevate national efforts to a higher level, both domestically and continentally. We are grateful for the government’s initial attention to this issue. However, we urge that this attention be strengthened, in the name of children suffering because a parent or guardian is lost to addiction, and in the name of mothers and guardians who have lost their children to this disease. A nation is its people!
To work more effectively and in a more coordinated manner than ever before, MCDO – in partnership with the Ministry of Health and the Colombo Plan’s Drug Advisory Programme (DAP), which has 70 years of international recognition and works with the African Union, the US, the EU, the UN, and others – has been learning from the experiences of other countries and attending training programs abroad. MCDO has organized itself with up-to-date knowledge and, in collaboration with the Ministry of Health, has provided internationally recognized training to help save our continent, Africa, from the drug problem.
In this context, MCDO staff members, including Mr. Elias Kalayu (Executive Director) and Ms. Sara Deguma, together with Ministry of Health representatives (including Dr. Tedla W/giworgis), regional health bureau disease prevention directorate officers, and other professionals – a total of 31 trainees – participated in the ” Training of Trainers (TOT) for Ethiopia on the Universal Curriculum for Prevention/Treatment of Substance Use Disorders (UPC 1, UTC 1)” from March 19-25, 2019. This training was delivered for the first time in Ethiopia.
MCDO played a commendable role as organizer and coordinator, contributing to a highly successful training period. Five MCDO staff members were trained as trainers of trainers and received certificates of recognition.
We believe this training will greatly benefit our nation. By effectively training professionals in the still-nascent fields of prevention and rehabilitation, it will strengthen ongoing efforts across all regions and levels. It will foster hopeful, impactful action toward a solution. Equally, we believe this creates a valuable opportunity – a supportive army of trainers within the health sector – to ensure addiction receives greater attention.
Addiction is preventable and treatable!
Our nation has no greater resource than the minds and hearts of its citizens.
Therefore, we wish to extend our heartfelt gratitude to the Ministry of Health (MoH) and the Colombo Plan DAP for this remarkable and transformative training.
Thank you very much, #MoH and #Colombo Plan DAP (US, INL).
