Give Life to Dreams: Fertility Awareness Month 2016

Image
In a country as populated as ours, Philippines now has reached about hundred million population, it would still surprise us that one in every ten couples would struggle with infertility issues. So with all the talks about family planning and birth control,we must not also forget the other side of the story wherein there are still loving couples who are responsible and have dreams of starting a family but are finding it hard to do so.  That is why infertility must also be talked about.  There's so much stigma that is surrounding this topic and there's so much embarrasment and mis-information which only means even more difficult for a family or even couples to  address this concern.  Because in many cases, there's something that can be done about infertility. It can be addressed and the dreams of couples and even families could build their own family and be realized.  But of course the first step is understanding, so people must be reached by the mess...

I wear my eyeglasses as my laptop starts to boot up. I get up and start to make myself a hot cup of coffee.

I reach out a little more until I feel something wrapped in plastic. I take it out. I read the label as I walked back into the counter where I had placed my coffee. Lotus. It was the biscuit I’ve received from last Saturdays event but never tasted. I sit back down, opened a pack and tasted it. I smiled as I heard a crunching sound and when the flavor dissolved into my taste buds.  It was the perfect pair! Its sweetness complimented the bitterness of m...
