本週三，AIT副處長柯傑民（Jeremy Cornforth）於全球合作暨訓練架構 (#GCTF)「以科技力建構韌性及加速落實永續發展目標」線上國際研討會開幕致詞中強調：「儘管台灣被拒於門外，無法有意義地參與世衛大會及許多其他國際組織，今天的活動將能凸顯台灣仍以許許多多方式分享專長、並運用其科技長才，幫助國際社會解決你我共同面對的種種挑戰。美國會持續致力協助擴大台灣的國際參與空間。」

AIT副處長柯傑民、外交部長吳釗燮、日本台灣交流協會台北事務所代表泉裕泰、美國駐聯合國副大使蒲杰夫（Jeffrey Prescott）及駐紐約台北經濟文化辦事處處長李光章於週三一同參加了全球合作暨訓練架構 (GCTF)「以科技力建構韌性及加速落實永續發展目標」線上國際研討會。自2015年全球合作暨訓練架構啟動以來，這是第一次聚焦探討科技如何能增強韌性並加快實現可持續發展目標的進程。

On Wednesday, AIT Deputy Director Jeremy Cornforth, Foreign Minister Joseph Wu, Japan-Taiwan Exchange Association Chief Representative Hiroyasu Izumi, Deputy to the U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations Jeff Prescot and Taipei Economic and Cultural Office in New York Director-General James Lee participated in a virtual Global Cooperation and Training Framework (GCTF) workshop titled “Building Resilience and Accelerating the Sustainable Development Goals (SDG) Through Technology.” Since the GCTF’s 2015 program launch, this is the first event to focus on how technology can bolster resilience and accelerate progress towards meeting the SDGs.

In his opening remarks, Deputy Director Cornforth said, “Although Taiwan is prevented from participating meaningfully in the World Health Assembly and many other international organizations, today’s event will highlight the many ways that Taiwan is sharing its expertise and using its technological prowess to help the international community solve shared challenges. The United States remains committed to expanding Taiwan’s international space.”

World Suicide Prevention Day (WSPD), celebrated annually on 10 September, is organized by the International Association for Suicide Prevention (IASP) and endorsed by the World Health Organization (WHO). The event represents a global commitment to focus attention on suicide prevention.

The theme of WSPD 2021, “Creating hope through action,” reflects the need for collective, action to address this urgent public health issue. All of us- family members, friends, co-workers, community members, educators, religious leaders, healthcare professionals, political officials and governments- can take action to prevent suicide in the Region.

A total of 468 suicide cases were reported across Malaysia in the first five months of 2021. This number is higher compared to 631 cases reported in the whole of 2020.

Different groups are calling for the decriminalisation of suicide in order to end the stigmatisation of mental ill health in Malaysia as reported in The Star today. (https://www.thestar.com.my/opinion/letters/2021/09/10/call-for-decriminalisation-of-suicide)

Mental health must be approached with compassion, data-driven solutions, and ethical policy-making.

Know that you’re not alone ❤️

【關於COVID-19：Part. 1】
.
雖然有醫療人員的身份，但好像也對COVID-19不是很了解，所以針對COVID-19整理了一些資料。原本想說只是查文獻做一些筆記，但想到line的一些長輩圖，覺得自己應該也可以做出淺顯易懂的圖讓生活周遭的人了解。
.
我覺得恐懼、慌張大多是因為「不了解」，再來新聞媒體的報導也需要聳動的標題、極端的個案才能吸引大家的注意，但當每天都面對同樣的議題，壓力、緊張、焦慮都隨之而來，疫情期間，讓自己保持能身心健康是最重要的。
.
.
1. 什麼是 COVID-19？
COVID-19 全名為 Coronavirus disease 2019 (即2019年的冠狀病毒疾病)，是由SARS-CoV-2 (新型冠狀病毒) 此種病毒所造成。源起於2019年底，並迅速地傳播到世界各地。
.
(P.S. 我原本以為COVID-19的19是一個編號...)
.
.
2. COVID-19 的症狀？
症狀多在感染病毒後的4-5天會出現，但也有些人可能遲至感染後2週或甚至從不會出現，換句話說，有些人是有感染但沒有症狀或完全看不出來的
.
若有症狀，可能包括以下：
發燒、咳嗽、呼吸困難、倦怠、發冷、肌肉痛、頭痛、喉嚨痛、嗅覺異常、味覺異常等，少部分的人可能有噁心、腹瀉或皮膚等問題。
.
大部分的人，症狀幾週後即會減緩。
少部分的人，可能身體狀況會變得更差並可能無法自主呼吸，最嚴重的話可能導致死亡。
.
.
3. 我會是那些嚴重的案例嗎？
取決於年紀以及身體健康狀況。年紀越大，變成重症的機率較高，另外，本身若有其他疾病、慢性病或免疫力較弱的狀況下，也較容易使感染後的狀況變嚴重，例如：糖尿病、高血壓、肥胖、氣喘等
.
.
下篇文章會說明病毒傳染的方式、如何檢測、預防等

The Freshman Christmas Jingle-Sing-Along Charity Performance
20th Dec 2014 | 8pm | at Top Deck (223A Upp Thomson Road)

As a part of “Project 50 For 50“, The Freshman have been roped in as Junior Changemakers and are helping 2 Changemakers (Michelle Chow and Eve Pek) raise their targeted amount for 2 charities – Singapore Association of Mental Health and Autism Association (Singapore).

So do join us as we spend an evening celebrating the season at a specially prepared fund-raising Christmas sing-along showcase!

Date and Time: 20th Dec 2014, 8 – 9.15pm
Location: Top Deck @ 2nd floor of Habitat Coffee (223A Upper Thomson)
Tickets: $50 per pax (ticket holders are also entitled to a cup of free coffee!)

Ticket-holders will be entitled to a special cup of coffee made from coffee beans picked and roasted specially for this event! Each ticket-holder also goes home with a goody bag of gifts from our generous friends and sponsors! In the name of charity, we hope you can spread the cheer and join us in action and in song.

The amazing thing about this project is that every dollar that is raised from the event will be matched dollar-for-dollar by corporate partners. This amount is then multiplied when again matched dollar-for-dollar by the government (under the Community Chest “Care and Share” programme)! This means that when you purchase our $50 entrance ticket, you are essentially donating $200 in total!

It’s going to be a wonderful evening.
It’s not because we’re amazing.

It’s because every warm-hearted passionate individual who is going to be there is a Changemaker in his/her own little way. And when a bunch of Changemakers come together to celebrate, magic fills the air.
