We always talk about saving our environment and the ways we can use to do it. We read about the importance of a healthy environment. But just knowing and talking doesn't help. When was the last time you did something towards saving the environment? Forget doing, when was the last time you tried doing something to save nature? Now don't say you always knew there's a need to save the environment. Everyone knows and says. Sadly no one does. Do something that can help save the environment even a small step counts.

As a result of the 2012 communal violence, a total of 140,000 people have been displaced and continue to live in camps throughout various townships in Rakhine State in very poor conditions. The humanitarian community has, since the onset of the response in 2012, come under significant pressure from the local community who perceives humanitarian assistance as biased and as favouring only one community. At the same time, UNICEF is one of the few agencies with an extensive development programme in Rakhine State that benefits all communities, but currently these efforts are not as visible as the humanitarian aid to internally displaced people.
