WATER. Why is water worth more than anything? Clean water means health but on the other hand water can also mean death. Diseases as cholera, dysentery, typhus and others spread through unclean water. Each day 6000 people lose their lives because of the lack of clean water;4 people a minute.

What can you do about it?You might feel that your voice may not be heard in your corner - but what if you lent your voice to something bigger! With the help of many organisations around the world you can help to make this world a better place, providing clean water for the people in need in our own nation and around the world. Google ‘‘charity for water’’ and check it out!

The last years have seen many more people gaining access to clean water. Nevertheless,2.5 billion people still do not have access to clean water and sanitation. The fact is that 1.1 billion people do not even have access to a proper toilet.

In 2000, 189 leaders of countries around the world signed the “Millennium Declaration” - an initiative by the United Nations. This initiative made sure that the countries would make changes to achieve certain goals in 15 years because not everything changed in the way we imagined they would by 2015. That is one of the reasons for the new initiative by the United Nations: called Global Goals.

Water is on the list. We might ask ourselves:Is clean water important to me? What might you do to ensure that by 2030 everyone has accessto clean water and sanitation?

Today we are going to take a peekinto one of the biggest issues of these past few decades.

We all know that having the right diet aids inthe development of our growth. We also know that when you eat healthily, it reduces the chance of developing diabetes, obesity and chronic diseases. Just as importantly though, proper nutrition helps you have a more efficient timeat school! A balanced diet consists of fiber, fat, protein and carbohydrates, making you less likely to fall ill and miss out on classes. As a result, the amount of interruptions on schoolwork over the year and in learning will be reduced. There will also be fewer disruptions in classes since you will become more focused, creating a more pleasant learning environment for every student.

Why is proper nutrition great for students?

Can I help?Creating a supportive environment for better nutrition can be fun. Make building a healthy diet something fun and exciting. Imagine a Youtube session, a Hangout Session, a Frog VLE Site, where you can get your teachers and classmates on board.

After all, what Malaysian doesn’t love food?

How would proper nutrition affect students’ performance in the classroom?

Do you have a story suggestionfor our students’ pullout?

Have a good breakfast every morning

Research has shown that not having breakfast decreases scholastic achievements. Mayit happen that you are late for school, grab at least some juice or a piece of fruit.

Limit the amount of sugar you consume

You need sugar to providethe needed amount of calories but make sure not to take too much of it. Sweetening coffee,cereal, fruit and tea withhoney is a better option.

Healthy Eating Tips6

Choose food that are rich in calcium

Calcium needs to be built up in your body before you reach your early twenties in order to prevent osteoporosis. Low-fat yoghurt, green leafy vegetables and low-fat cheese are also full of calcium.

Drink lots of water

It is important to drink a minimum of eight classes each day, depending on how muchyou exercise. Bring water bottles to class to stay hydrated and concentrated.

Trade unhealthy snacks for healthy ones

Apart from eating vegetables, eat dried or fresh fruit, rice cakes, whole wheat crackers, low-fat yoghurt, or unbuttered popcorn instead of snacks with a high level of fat such as fried food.

REIMAGINING ROBOTS:Young and bright Malaysians take on robotics

For the fifth time in seven years, Malaysian high school students have beaten 43 other countries at the 12th World Robot Olympiad in Qatar with robots they designed and programmed, made primarily out of plastic LEGO blocks. Although they were submitted for the competition, these robots were built from scratch to save lives!

3,000 young robot enthusiasts attended this competition one month ago, 57 of them being Malaysian high school students. The hard working Gold Medal winners were YC Adventure Kidz from SJK(C) Yuk Chai in the Open Primary School category, and the Robotist team from SMK USJ 4 in the Open Lower Secondary Category. The third gold medal was won by the Kota Kinabalu Mara Junior Science College in the robotic football match. Most impressively, 3 students from

EDUCATION MAKES THE WORLD GO ROUND:

A global movement of more than 7 million people worldwide, Amnesty Internationalis campaigning for a world where human rights are enjoyed by all. Amnesty International has student organisations across the globe - and one of them is “Amnesty Student GroupNijmegen” (AISN).

Almost 70 students come together to strive for a better world with opportunities for everyone. Through lectures, workshops debates and more they try to create awareness surrounding human rights and other global issues. The student group is lead by a board of directors and 7 commissions. One of these is the Right2Education commision.

Every year for 1 week, awareness around education is created by these students. Recently, one of their campaigns was focused on Palestine, where not every childis able to go to school due to instability inthe region.

Any student can join the AISN. Not only are they a student group creating awareness on all kind of global issues, they also host social events.

When we do meaningful work,it is wonderful to be able to relax together, too.

#leapsoxford took place in July 2015.20 professors from St. Anne’s College, University of Oxford, flew over to Kuala Lumpur. In four days, students attended classes by the world’s top professors and were inspired and committed to pursue their dreams of getting into prestigious universities such as the University of Oxford.

WHY DID THEY BUILD IT?

Did you hear about the Copiapo mining disaster in 2010? This lifesaving robot has a GoPro camera with 360° view of the mine and a GPS that detects miners’ location. One thing is certain, we’ll hear a lot more from these promising Malaysian scientists as they aim to continue to reimagine robots!
