Helloooo SCORPions🗣,
Our deepest apologies for going MIA. But no worries… we’re back and better than ever! 🙌💚
And since we’re on the topic of comebacks, delays, and taking your time...
Meet today’s inspiring hero:
🌟 Wisdom Wednesday 🌟
👨⚕️Dr. Toh Hong Keng , a Doctor at 70 🩺
After a full career in tech sales, Dr. Toh chased a lifelong dream of studying medicine in his mid-60s. At 70, he graduated from Southwestern University.
The journey wasn’t easy, rather challenging with slower memory, tougher exams and long hospital shifts.
💬 His motto? “Sayang”, a Filipino word meaning “it would be a shame”. A shame to give up. A shame to stop dreaming.
✍It’s never too late to pursue what sets your soul on fire. Age is just a number; purpose is timeless. ⏳💡
Green hugs

Study stress = “brain fever”? 🧠🔥
Did you know❓
Back in the 1800s, students and scholars believed intense studying could cause “brain fever”, a vague diagnosis for headaches, anxiety, and exhaustion. Their “treatments” included leeches and cold baths! 😵💫🩸
Opening a leech shop right next to a medical school would’ve made someone instantly rich😂.
Thankfully, we’ve come a long way since then. Burnout is real and it’s definitely not cured by bloodletting.
💡 Here’s the real deal:
Burnout is tough, but it’s okay to take breaks, get enough sleep, and ask for help. Treat your mental health like your textbooks, with care and respect 💚📚

In Samoa, forgetting your wife’s birthday isn’t just a relationship no-no, it’s illegal! 🎂🚫
Yes, you read that right. The law there says if you don’t remember the big day, you could actually face legal consequences.
So if you want to keep the peace at home (and avoid any unexpected courtroom drama), maybe just mark that calendar twice or set 10 reminders😁🙌.
It’s a wild way to enforce peace at home . So, next time you forget, just remember: this isn’t just about hurt feelings, it’s about legal peacekeeping… and yes, probably lots of cake😌✨

🌟 Wisdom Wednesday 🌟
When no one else would speak up, Dr.Mona Hanna-Attisha did. 👩⚕️
In 2015, she revealed that children in Flint, Michigan, were being poisoned by lead-contaminated water—a crisis that began in 2014 after the city changed its water source without proper treatment. Officials denied the problem, but she chose to speak out. 📢
She worked tirelessly to gather evidence and push for urgent action to protect vulnerable children. 🩺❤️
“The most important thing I ever did was listen to the voice that said, ‘Do what’s right. Even if you stand alone!’” ✨
Her research was dismissed.
She faced criticism, but she kept going, because children's health mattered more than her comfort.
📌 This reminds us: Medicine isn’t just about treating illness, it’s about standing for justice and defending the right to health, especially for the unheard. ⚖️🌍

Strange But True!
Did you know that in 19th-century England, it was basically illegal to be poor? 🤯
Under the so-called “Poor Laws,” people who were homeless or unemployed could be forced into harsh workhouses 🏚 not for committing a crime, but simply for being in need. Sounds wild, right?
We’ve come a long way since then , but it’s a reminder of why human rights ⚖️ and the work we do in SCORP 🕊 matter so much.

✨ CB Fest × Activities Fair ✨
We were thrilled to be part of this year’s CB Fest and Activities Fair, hosted by EMSA-AA, on August 2&3.
As the Standing Committee on Human Rights and Peace (SCORP), we had the opportunity to showcase our ongoing projects and share insights into our upcoming initiatives.
The atmosphere was enriching and inspiring. We left the event energized, motivated, and ready to take our projects to the next level.
💚Huge thank-you to all our amazing members who brought passion and spirit. You made our booth unforgettable!
🎉 Congratulations to the winners of our SCORP Puzzle Challenge! We hope you enjoyed cracking it while also learning something new, proving once again that SCORP is a standing committee that’s fun, dynamic, and always has a little something extra in return for your participation. (We hope you enjoyed the sticker! 😉)
👀 Keep an eye out for our upcoming projects, we promise they’ll be just as exciting and meaningful.

Even cartoon characters have human rights!” 🧑⚖️🎬
Yes, you read that right. In 2011, the United Nations made the Smurfs official ambassadors for peace and goodwill. That’s right, tiny blue creatures who live in mushrooms🍄 and avoid Gargamel are now international peace icons. 🌍💙
So next time you watch cartoons, remember: even fictional characters are speaking up for justice, peace, and equality, in between saving the world and getting into hilarious messes😄

MeetBiquette the goat 🐐 , probably the most unexpected human rights ambassador the UN ever had!
In 1979, during the International Year of the Child, French humanitarian Jean-Pierre Hocké took Biquette on a journey across borders to raise awareness about children’s rights. 🧒🌍
And guess what?
The United Nations gave Biquette her own official travel document. yes, a goat passport! 🛂🐐
Together, they:
💚Visited refugee camps and villages to advocate for vulnerable children 👧🏽🏕️
💚Captured global attention with creativity and compassion 📸❤️
💚Proved that awareness doesn’t always need a podium, sometimes a goat will do 🐐🎤
It’s a fun reminder that human rights work doesn’t have to be boring, it just has to be bold.
Even a goat can help spark change. What can you do? 💚

In Switzerland, owning just one guinea pig isn’t allowed! 🐹🚫
Why?
Because guinea pigs are social creatures, and keeping one alone is considered animal neglect. The law sees them as “victims of loneliness,” so you must have at least two to keep each other company.
It’s a sweet reminder that laws can protect emotional well-being too, not just for humans, but for our furry friends!
So, if you ever become a guinea pig parent, remember: it’s double the whiskers, double the fun… and double the hay bills 😄🙌.

🌍✨ Hands Speak Louder Than Words! ✨🌍
At SCORP, we believe communication should have no barriers and that’s why we’re so excited about our ongoing Sign Language Class! 🤟
💚The sessions so far have been truly engaging, filled with interaction, practice, and lots of fun. Instead of simply memorizing signs, participants are actively involved, practicing conversations, and learning through real-life activities.
Every class feels like a lively exchange, reminding us that language is about connection, not just words.
👏 A big thank you to all participants for their enthusiasm and to our facilitators from ENAD for making each class so dynamic. The journey continues and we can’t wait to see more hands speaking!
