Pernah dengar pernyataan seperti ini?
“Belum tentu yang berjilbab itu lebih baik dari yang tidak berjilbab”
Gw cukup sering denger.. Dan memang benar, Jilbab bukan patokan keimanan seseorang. Tp bagi gw jilbab menjadi patokan usaha seseorang untuk meningkatkan keimanannya.
Ibaratnya dari 100 pelanggaran yang seorang muslimah lakukan, dgn memakai jilbab, dia menguranginya menjadi 99. Sounds harsh? but face it girls (and guys), we did a large numbers of mistakes right?
Masih ada 99 yang jadi PR dia, tp paling tidak dia berusaha mengurangi. Dan itu menurut gw patut diapresiasi.
Gw rasa laki – laki yang punya kecenderungan untuk memilih perempuan yang berjilbab juga punya pemikiran yang sama. Apalagi kalau sudah menjadi istrinya, perempuan itu juga menjadi tanggung jawab sang suami. Drpd menanggung 100, 99 masih mending kan?
Pada akhirnya mmg amal perbuatan kita tidak dihitung scr matematis seperti itu sih. Gw yakin tiap usaha ada ganjarannya, itu dijamin langsung sm Allah.
Jadi jgn smp pernyataan2 seperti itu menciutkan jiwa mu yang besar, hai para jilbaber.
I believe that you’re one step ahead 
Children are the future leaders. They will grow, learn, and make differences to create better world. They are the true meaning of “hope”. What they need to create such a change is a chance to live. Unfortunately, there are so many life threatening disease that can take their chances. One out of ten children dies before age of five in developed countries. Those children didn’t manage to survive from the disease that actually can be cured, or even can be prevented. In Indonesia, under five child mortality rate was 44 out of 1000 live births. The main cause of the deaths was pneumonia, diarrhoea and other infectious disease. There are significant disparities in the mortality rate among provinces and also within provinces. Socioeconomic inequities determine which children live and which ones die, especially mother’s education and wealth quintile. Children in poor households have higher mortality rates than those in richer households. About 35% of deaths of under-five children have malnutrition as a contributing factor. Families with low income and remote areas couldn’t afford and reach healthcare they need because of the access and the expenses.
According to a child survival study, there are several interventions that can be done to prevent under five and newborn death, including immunization and treatment of infections. Increasing the immunization rate can reduce the number of child deaths. Immunization against measles has a direct impact on child mortality. An increase of three percentage points in the immunization rate reduces the number of deaths of children under-five years of age caused by measles one per thousand live births (UNSD 2009, ADB).
There are 18 provinces with lower coverage of immunization against measles than the national average (67.0 percent). The provinces with the lowest coverage were North Sumatra (36.6 percent), Aceh (40.9 percent), and Papua (49.9 percent) according to IDHS 2007.
In addition to those data, Indonesia’s full immunization coverage is still below 50 percent. That means more than half of Indonesian children are not protected from life threatening disease such as Tuberculosis, Diphtheria, Pertusis, Tetanus, Hepatitis and Polio.
To protect and save the children, Indonesia needs to increase those immunization coverage. National target for immunization against measles is 93 percent by 2014 and 90 percent for coverage of full immunization.
We can help to achieve the target by giving children what they need, a chance to live. One drop of vaccine can make difference between life and death. One dollar or approximately 9.000 rupiahs could save a child from preventable death caused by measles. Imagine how many lives we could save if we’re all in this together.
Because by helping the children, we’re doing ourselves a favor: Keeping our “hopes” of better world alive.
Let’s give them a chance. Would you?
