Supporting Planned Parenthood




  • Kamala Budhathoki 'Sarup'
  • Published in Cape May County Herald.

  • Recently, women from all over the country have been protesting for women's health and rights. Fighting for women's health is not just about women's rights to health, but it is also about women's equality and freedom.

    I strongly support the protesting and want the Trump administration to consider women's health as their first priority, and support Planned Parenthood programs too. We cannot let their health degrade and the funds that support this program to stop. The administration should also recognize the importance of improving women's reproductive health care, treatment, and opportunities.

    Trump banned federal funding for foreign NGOs that supported abortion. As we know, globally, many women become the victim of sexual violence such as rape, forced prostitution, sexual abuse and more. It will not only put the life of the mother but also her newborn at risk in many cases if abortion is not considered. Women will be mentally tortured. We should not stop funding women's reproductive health and abortion because there are dangers of unwanted pregnancy.

    Knowing about Planned Parenthood is a must for every woman around the globe. I too had no idea about it until I participated in one of their training programs regarding reproductive health.

    When I first came to America, I didn’t have health insurance and was worried that I wouldn’t be able to get a regular medical checkup without it. But I knew about Planned Parenthood, so whenever I got sick or needed medical attention, I used to go to a local Planned Parenthood medical center in Arlington, Va. and got myself checked.

    I would like to thank the teams and the center as they performed the necessary check-ups without any hesitation. Therefore, I get sad every time I think about the deaths caused by many treatable diseases and other pregnancy-related deaths. If women had the medical care they could afford, it would have saved their lives.

    This is why Planned Parenthood in the U.S. is very important. It provides early detection and screenings for different kinds of diseases like cancer via CBC tests which can be treated in its early stage.

    It is very important for every woman to have access to medical check-ups even if they can't afford it or don't have health insurance, or sometimes both. We all know women who are unable to afford health insurance have a difficult time finding medical treatment and also they will not receive such simple and effective care and therefore women of all ages will be at risk.

    Women's rights also mean they should have control of their own body, sex, and fertility. The right to abortion and family planning is women's economic and legal rights.

    Disabled Children In New Jersey.

    Kamala Budhathoki 'Sarup'

    I worked at the Cape May County Special services school for a year in 2011 and during my tenure I came to realize the importance of quality education to the children who are physically and emotionally disabled. The former principal of Ocean Academy, Mary Margaret Lynn, was so wonderful and kind. She was the most kind principal I've ever met.

    It was wonderful to see the children at the special-services school getting the right kind of education that helps them improve the quality of their life. For children with disabilities, as for all children, education is vital and it is a key to economic development of a community.

    Access to free education is a strong step towards achieving the economic progress for our disabled children. But sadly some countries have barriers such as inadequate resources, teacher training and support, lack of financial support and policies, and hence are unable to educate them effectively. Due to lack of proper environment there is no teaching-learning environment. Disabled children who are still struggling for hand-to-mouth problem because of their lack of courage and opportunities must get help.

    Implementing awareness programs through education is a first strong program towards achieving this goal. I think doing this will be give rise to acts towards helping humanity.

    The United Nations Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities (CRPD) recognizes the right of all children with disabilities both to be included in the general-education systems and to receive the individual support they require. According to UNESCO more than one billion people around the world, of whom nearly 93 million are children, live with some form of disability. Children with disabilities are one of the most discriminated groups, facing daily discrimination in the form of negative attitudes.

    Children are the targets of social attacks by the social inequalities. Disabled children are often likely to be among the poorest members of the population in many countries and they are being bullied. They are less likely to attend school, access medical services, or have their voices heard in society. WHO emphasized on prioritizing good quality education in an inclusive environment to children with disabilities all over countries. WHO further added,
     

    "Countries cannot achieve Education for All or the Millennium Development Goal of universal completion of primary education without ensuring access to education for children with disabilities."

    Minors with disability especially living on or below the poverty line are also "extremely vulnerable" towards sexual exploitation and have no opportunity for education, globally. Children are dropping out of childhood.

    Disabled Children want good education and social protection but for the past decade, the responsible institutions have failed miserably to protect and provide children's right, globally. There are no statistics available on the number of victims. But, once young people feel hopeless, they really do give up. They don't take the steps that might build a constructive future.

    Therefore, I think it is a better way for the New Jersey to spend its revenues toward the objective of making educational reforms. Our educational department's program and its main target has to be disabled children. Furthermore, this program will also cause social and educative motivation in hundreds of suffered class resulting social development at the end. Besides, this concept will get very influential media coverage since it is definitely a new and relevant concept that focuses on disabled children in New Jersey.

    Laws, Education Needed to Combat Child Pornography

    Why I Love Cape May

    Rape is one of the major womens issues

    True story: My friend completely disappeared

    US patriotism Is Important In A Democracy

    Crossing Delaware bay

    Crossing the Delaware Bay,
    Kamala  Sarup
    Cape May County Herald.

    I worked on the Cape May Lewes Ferry for seven months. I love the water, beaches and the shore, but there's something special about the ferry. While I worked on the ferry, I met wonderful friends and nice captains and pilots, like Capt. David R. Oat, Capt. Joe Napolean, Capts. Hansen, Sorace, Vance, and Macomber, Pilot Megan and others. They work hard.

    I still occasionally watch the ferry as it comes and goes across Delaware Bay and brings back beautiful memories. Cape May Lewes Ferry provides employment directly or indirectly. In my opinion, every individual in Cape May should be employed in terms of his/her own interest, skill, qualification and education. The wealth management and investment pattern can also be synchronized from Cape May to Delaware. It works to develop tourism in a new and innovative way in New Jersey, create more affordable houses, health and educational opportunities.

    Last week, I invited some of my friends to my home. They cross the Delaware Bay almost every week. Both of my friends expressed to me how they felt that crossing the bay is stress free and they shared their feelings about it. “Cape May is the birthplace of tourism," my friend said. "Cape May is the root of the idea of tourism of the soul.

    "My son likes to ride on the ferry and is always playing outside. Last Thursday, he stopped all of a sudden. He looked very happy. Somehow, he knows that, at any time, nice things can happen. Although my son's mind didn't draw any definite conclusions, he understood some beautiful lighthouse and the dolphin (picture was taken by Capt. Joe Napolean on March 19) which made him extremely happy.”My friend further added, "Kamala, I am full of love for my business trip from Cape May to Delaware. On the one side, our family situation is secure, as we have sources of income.

    I also joined my hands with my friends and, together, we laughed. I found that they, together with their families, both continue to have their similar experiences on water. They continued to smile and love each other fully by crossing of the Delaware Bay.

    Memories of our friendship

    Leaders, Unemployment And An Economy

    Love, and being loved in Cape May Beaches


    Author: Kamala Budhathoki 'Sarup'



    On the beaches of Cape May, one can hear many different kinds of talks. When people talk about life, love and wedding, and other gather around to listen, it sometimes feels as if a big conversation had been organized. This type of thing has been recurring over the past few days. On the beach, close to my house, some people talk about the politics, weather, with long sighs. Others talk about the jobs and
    travel, and still others talk about public expenditures, cold, Snow and the Shore. As we know, Cape May has some of the most beautiful Jersey Shore beaches.

    I do like to talk on the beach in Wild wood. I feel happy when my friends and people talk about love, wedding, poetry and life. I hear scores of stories comparable to Romeo and Juliet, - a popular work of literature about a loving husband and wife whose tale ends in tragedy is often repeated.

    Today, it is especially not cold in the beach of Wild wood, hot than other days. A crowd surrounds two people in the beach, enjoying the loud argument they are having. One of them is smartly dressed in a suit and the other seems to be in a philosophic mood. The smartly dressed one asks: "Do you like life, love and the Shore?" The philosophic-looking man responds, "To tell you the truth, I like it."

    To which, the smartly dressed man comes forwards and says, "That's a beautiful thing to say. I believe that with love comes change. Why wouldn't we like that?" The philosopher continues.

    The well-dressed man responds, "You were talking about love, wedding, and poems just a moment ago, but now you talk about economy and employment?." This angers the philosopher a little. He says, "You all must try to understand what I am saying. Yes, I do agree that each of  us has his own problems. The present time and, naturally, it has also impacted the economic aspect of life."

    He further added " We have more other options to show our hard work to children about how there is beauty and love in our life". As I prepare to leave the beach, he continues, " From now on, we are for love, and being loved in this beautiful Cape May."

    The responsible leaders should have appropriate plan

    Author: Kamala Budhathoki 'Sarup'


    People are to continue suffering with lack of law and order and uncontrolled and uneven inflation and commodity prices.The responsible leaders should have appropriate plan – as fornext after. In fact, if they are plan less, vision less and thoughtless. The people weighted them as painless and not obligatory to the general public. 

    If the political leaders are hungry and thirsty of power only, so that they always would like to remain in the front line of the politics. Politics should not be for own sake or for leader sake, for people sake.

    We see talking politics men-to-men, leader –to –leader and party-to-party.
    On the appetite of a healthy leadership, is seeking thebest leader – who is that? As the study showed, the generalpublic are hue and cry in political crisis and out of democracy, freedom, peace and employment and they are being faced the hardships to spend the normal life. The people facing under the cloud of uncertainty and violence is not good. Once again peoplev may come to display in search of freedom, peace and security and democracy.

    "We are facing the unsettled landscape and challenges to eligibility to every exercise. There is no any effort or progress seento end the era. Some leaders are not fully capable to maintain peaceand stability". Said Dr. Surendra Bhakta Pradhanang, who is an award winning personality whose work has helped create a new face for tourism and economic development and the best thinker of village development and the development further added "people always want to see the leaders held more accountable."

    Let the people decide the development and democracy they want. People's economic development and democracy must not be limited within the paper and speech. In politics must not be for the leaders. Despite, politics must be for the welfare and people's desire.No change, it is experienced, is seen in the politics at all though wetalk about people's democracy. In the the heart of the general people known as the strength of People's Democracy, person-to –person. 

    Due to fear, insurgency and instability, people are out of normal life facing horror and danger in every walk of life". Pradhang further said Hence, if the politics remains exceedingly tense and dangerous. This time we can expect nothing for personal benefit.For the people's interest and people's welfare the politics could not have been set at all.

    Anyway, people want and need people -oriented democracy and employment not leader-oriented. The system of freedom and democracy must be established.

    No progress is possible and nothing can be helped to the people unless and until the politics is free from vandalism, insult, personal selfishness and danger of power politics in real terms.
