"Change for Good" is an innovative partnership between UNICEF and the inter-national airline industry. Established in 1991, it is one of UNICEF's best-known and longest-running partnerships. This project appeals to travelers to donate onboard the aircraft, to help UNICEF to improve the lives of poor children.

Hence, HNA actively bears the social responsibility, participates in social welfare and serves the society with gratitude.
We would like to call on everyone to join in this onboard fundraising to make this, world as best we can for children. We sincerely thank you for your generous support.
Change for Good*
As a father of four, I'm concerned about how to lead my children to be good young men and women in such an unstable time. I have studied philosophy, mysticism, and religion my entire life. They provide great lessons in responsibility and growth. However, I also recognize that, at least at this point in their lives, my children are not terribly interested in such subjects. While I was reflecting on this, I was reminded of a line in a song I had heard recently. It goes, "f you had only one chance to say something, what would it be?"
That night, I found my two oldest kids lounging on the couch watching a TV show that featured violence, cursing and even some "adult scenes". I quietly sat on a chair next to them. I saw my boy straighten up, and my girl pretended to ignore me. I didn't make any usual comments about the pointlessness of such programs. I didn't even roll my eyes, although this took some effort. I simply asked:
Can you tell me how this will make you a better person?
Without a word, I got up and left the room. About ten minutes later, to my surprise, the children were in their rooms doing their homework and the television was silent. Remarkable.
This philosophy can change the way we live our lives. For example, whenever I feel angry and get the urge to lash out, I ask myself, "How does this acting or feeling the way I do right now make me a better person?" I began to realize that rarely did my thoughts or actions result in self-improvement. so I made conscious efforts to change my mindset and behavior.
We all want to be better fathers, mothers, sons and daughters. Better workers, better leaders, better lovers... this list goes on. Sometimes succeeding in these roles can be tough. But one question connects us with all those duties we possess to society and ourselves, "Is this making me a better person?"
Whatever I said, it worked. My daughter has begun watching nature programs instead of violent TV shows, and she decided to go to school to become a counselor. My son told me he wants to be a police officer. I've since thrown away all those parenting magazines and books I've collected over the years because I made more progress with a single question than I did with hundreds of pages of "experts" advice.
Having worked for more than a decade in finance in the oil industry in Canada, Tori Fahey found herself wanting more from life. But it wasn't through desperation that her circumstances changed: "I didn't get fed up and storm off, nothing like that; it was curiosity about other interests and wanting to experience something new."
Fahey left her job and completed an MBA before setting up a move to New York to begin a degree. However, the opportunity of an open year between the MBA and the degree came up, and as a keen touring cyclist, Fahey realised that a much dreamed-about adventure was now becoming a possibility: "The ride in Africa had been on my fantasy list. It was a moment when I realised that I could do anything, so I should."
Fahey rode across Africa, a 7,500-mile trip that took four months. The whole experience had a life-changing impact. Fahey said: "Bicycles provide a literal freedom. You don't allow yourself to feel like that in everyday life because there are so many distractions. But when you' re out on the bike and there's nothing else, you' re really free to experience what life is."
Post-degree Fahey worked on projects with the UNDP(United Nations Development Project) in Montenegro with the aim of bringing investment to rural communities.
It was while working on these projects that the seeds were sown for the next new investment. "It was through my trip across Africa that I discovered pannier and rack systems inconvenient and I was never going to use them again." Little did she know this would lead her to start up her own company.
In 2013, Apidura was born, producing storage solutions for people looking to travel the world by bike, race across continents and carry all they need to do so. It's now a successful global brand, but Fahey remains reflective about what else the company can do for people.
Over the past two weeks, I've lost my passport, barked at a neighbor and published a picture of myself wearing a kid's superhero costume. Forgetfulness, anger and poor decision-making are all signs of sleep shortage.
And I'm not alone.
"I average around six hours a night," admits Paul, who's lived in Shanghai for three years. "But how much of that is deep sleep, I don't know."
Lisa works in a hotel. "I struggle to switch off," she says, "a glass of red wine with dinner helps."
March 21 is the World Sleep Day, an annual event in celebration of slumber, or sleep. When sleep problems become a global epidemic, it's time to ask: "Am I getting enough?"
The lack of sleep throughout industrialized nations is damaging our health, wellness and safety. We're dog-tired, the impact of which is enough to keep anyone up at night.
A global experiment is performed on 1.6 billion people across 70 countries twice a year: daylight savings. When one hour of sleep is lost in spring, there's a 24 percent increase in heart attacks, and in autumn, when the hour is regained, a 21 percent reduction.
Good sleep increases concentration, attention and decision-making. Creativity goes up, and our ability to find novel solutions to complex problems is hugely improved. Sleep reduces mood swings and stress levels. We drink less alcohol and make better food choices when rested.
Take sleep seriously. It's not a luxury, but a biological necessity. It's our life-support system and let it be our superpower.

Sending children outside to play during the winter is one of the best things you can do for them. It also gives parents a brief relief from the chaos.
Children between 12 months and 6 years of age should spend 60 and 90 minutes outdoors each day, children older than that should get an hour too, and babies should be taken out several times a day and exposed to the fresh outdoor air.
Successful winter play is closely tied to the way children are dressed. Unless outfitted properly, they will have a miserable time and ask to come back in within minutes of heading out.
Staying dry is crucial, so even if it's not that cold out, put rain pants on a child to keep their legs dry and break the wind. Use boots that are high and waterproof. Choose heavy socks and a hat that are made of wool, as these take moisture away from a warm active body most effectively. Mittens(连指手套) are much warmer than gloves, and having a scarf or neck warmer makes a difference, too. Make sure they have a good range of movement that allows them to play and keep active outside.
If you think it's a lot of work getting them ready to go out, just wait till they come back in. Everything has to be dry before the next outing. So don't skip this step or you'll have angry, cold children in a few hours' time and a whole lot of regret on your part.
A. That's when it gets really busy! B. It gives them a space to consume energy. C. Cotton does not do this and will leave feet feeling wet and cold. D. Don't overdress a child, though, because then they will get too sweaty. E. National guidelines recommend lengths of outdoor exercise for children. F. Don't hesitate to cut the playtime short if your child is unhappy or cold outside. G. It's best to ensure they're comfortable so they'll stay out for a decent length of time. |

What comes to mind when you think of kung fu? your mind is filled with images of Shaolin monks or Bruce Lee, you wouldn't be wrong. But for Laurence J. Brahm, an American documentary filmmaker, the first thing that springs to mind (be) the concept of non-violence.
"Wushu, the official Chinese name for kung fu, (translate) into ‘martial arts' in English for a long time. Martial means military," Brahm told a roomful of people (attend) the premiere (首映式) of his latest work, Searching for Kung Fu.
As Brahm explained, if you break down the character "wu", it consists of two (character): one is "ge", meaning dagger-axe; the other is "zhi", meaning to stop. So, the meaning of martial arts in Chinese is not the "art of fighting", a concept that many people take for granted.the contrary, he said, kung fu is the art of stopping fighting, the art of non-violence.
In the movie, Brahm takes the audience on a kind of pilgrimage (朝圣), inviting them (accompany) him as he travels to a host of (historical) important locations in search of origins of kung fu.
Beyond that, Brahm studies the principles and values in this Chinese cultural legacy (遗产), dates back thousands of years but keeps its enormous influence and attraction to this day.
