Ensuring the safety of children on the road is the responsibility of adults. Children standing in cars, looking out of sunroofs are becoming common. Think - if you have to brake suddenly, the child will hit herself on the car or get thrown out! An overcrowded auto is more liable to topple causing suffocation and injury to the occupants. Is your child's life worth the risk? Source photo: Auto rickshaw overcrowded with school children by Paul Hamilton used by CC BY-SA 2.0)

This Children’s Day, let’s pledge to make our roads safer for our little ones. Road safety begins with a willingness to obey. Children need to observe parents (in fact all adults) willingly obey road rules, and be considerate motorists.

Diabetes is a chronic condition with potentially life threatening complications like heart disease, kidney disease, oral complications, complications during pregnancy, loss of vision and nerve damage.

Join us in asking for Front of Pack Warning Labels on processed foods. These will warn consumers of high levels of fats, salt and sugars in processed food. #FoodLabelsSaveLives #WorldDiabetesDay
