Today is the D Day of our February theme which is #SocialJustice 

👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽

World Day of Social Justice is

20th February set aside by the United Nations.

Their focus theme for the celebration is Strengthening a Just Transition for a Sustainable Future.

Strengthening a just transition for a sustainable future means making sure our move toward low-carbon economies benefits everyone, especially the most vulnerable. It requires a holistic approach that weaves environmental sustainability (TLF's March theme) with social justice (TLF's February theme), ensuring that workers (TLF's June theme), indigenous peoples, and marginalized communities receive the support they need (TLF's December theme) —through retraining, job creation, and strong social protection measures. 

Decarbonization and economic transformation should support policies that fight poverty, reduce inequality, and open up opportunities for all and in the end profer solutions to charity and social development which is the aim and objectives of TLF.

At the heart of this is synchronizing “just transition” principles into both global and national policies. These would redirect investments into emerging green sectors, building a resilient workforce and a more equitable society.

Through collective action and inclusive policies, we can create a future where environmental integrity and social equity go hand in hand, forming the foundation of a truly sustainable global economy.

The General Assembly of the UN recognizes that social development and social justice are indispensable for the achievement and maintenance of peace and security within and among nations and that, in turn, social development and social justice cannot be attained in the absence of peace and security, or in the absence of respect for all human rights and fundamental freedoms.

It was on the 26th of November 2007, that the General Assembly declared that, starting from the 63rd session of the General Assembly, 20th February will be celebrated annually as the World Day of Social Justice.

For us in TLF we are going to be focusing on Enterprise aka Labour aka Work for the entire month of June. We are urged to work. If you do not work how would you meet your daily needs? Like food, shelter, clothings and transportation? What about having what to give to others in need? There are so many reasons to work. I know many of us love to do what we love, we do not like to go to work if we do not like the job. But what if what you are doing as work and being paid for is actually what you love? What you love may not turn out to be a source of income, but we must still do what we can to earn. Are you enterprising? Please keep it up. Are you in paid labour in the private or public sector? Please do your work as unto the Lord God. Are you working all by yourself as a self employed worker? Please continue to grow and progress for greatness. Always know that in - Happy moments, praise God.  Difficult moments, seek God.  Quiet moments, worship God.  Painful moments, trust ...

Abortion

A worried woman went to her gynecologist and said: 'Doctor, I have a serious problem and desperately need your help! My baby is not even 1 year old and I'm pregnant again. I don't want kids so close together.' So the doctor said: 'Ok and what do you want me to do?' ... She said: 'I want you to end my pregnancy, and I'm counting on your help with this.' The doctor thought for a little, and after some silence he said to the lady: 'I think I have a better solution for your problem. It's less dangerous for you too.' She smiled, thinking that the doctor was going to accept her request. Then he continued: 'You see, in order for you not to have to take care of 2 babies at the same time, let's kill the one in your arms. This way, you could rest some before the other one is born. If we're going to kill one of them, it doesn't matter which one it is. There would be no risk for your body if you chose the one in your arms.' The la...
