Sponsored Video : Lifebuoy's Tree of Life

Lifebuoy has been campaigning and raising fund for better sanitary and hygiene, particularly in Nusa Tenggara Timur (NTT), one of the province in Indonesia with the highest rate of deaths from preventable diseases, such as diarrhea and pneumonia, statistically speaking of course. But as you know "statistic" and the campaign "wording" can raise controversy. In December 2013, the aired TV spot for the campaign has sparked some controversy from local government. NTT officials had stated that the "help a child reach 5" slogan was insulting, saying that it's degrading their life situation (read: no, we're not that dirty). In Lifebuoy's defense, they are stating that they used proven statistic data published by national health department, which showed NTT has 71% deaths of 1000 births in NTT are caused by diarrhea. Truth aside, as a graphic designer, I am mostly challenged with advertising issue on daily basis. And if you ask me, yes, a single word, choice of colors, models, etc, can cause huge impacts, either positively or negatively. Even if your intentions are noble and well, with a slightly unfortunate wording it could all go wrong. 
     
Remember the fit mom with a post baby body, Maria Kang? Well if you need your memory refreshed, she's your daily mom, not a professional athlete or a celebrity (when the photo was published), who post her toned body picture alongside her 3 boys, aged three, two years old, and 8 months old, respectively on her Facebook account. So.... what made the internet crowds tick? Above her picture, there it is, a letter in (perhaps) bold arial font, "What's your excuses?" As predetermined, her post became an internet controversy. Most of the readers said the picture (and subsequently, Maria herself) is mocking them for being fat after having a baby. Well, she's starting a website about health and fitness, so I guess there's no such thing as bad publicity in a brand promotion, but if she would have want a "nicer, more approachable" public message, she should have gone with, "if I can do this, you can too", or "Don't give up yet, I'm the proof!". See. The once insulting picture become very motivational instead. With just one sentence. 

Well so far, Lifebuoy had helped Thesgora, India teaching healthy hand washing habits and reduced incidents of diarrhea from 36% to 5%. And they're willing to reenact their success in Bitobe, Indonesia. So here I am, presenting you the brand new video, another try from Lifebuoy's life saving campaign. All slogan and advertising issues aside, IT IS a noble and important cause. If you're from Indonesia, you all must be aware that, let alone Bitobe, in the metropolitan capital, Jakarta, hygiene is still a common problem. So if you want to find out more...

  18. Enhancing Math Skills Through Engaging Toys
    In today's dynamic world, cultivating strong math skills is crucial for a child's academic and cognitive development. One effective and enjoyable way to foster these skills is through the use of math skills toys. These engaging playthings not only make learning fun but also provide numerous cognitive benefits.

    Math skills toys come in various forms, from puzzles and board games to building blocks and interactive apps. They are designed to stimulate critical thinking, problem-solving abilities, and spatial reasoning. For instance, building blocks and puzzles encourage children to think logically and spatially as they construct and manipulate shapes. Board games often involve strategic thinking and numerical concepts, fostering a deeper understanding of mathematical principles.

    Additionally, math toys promote a hands-on approach to learning, allowing children to grasp abstract concepts through tactile experiences. This tangible interaction helps solidify mathematical understanding and boosts confidence in tackling more complex problems.

    Furthermore, these toys cultivate a positive attitude towards math from an early age. By presenting mathematical concepts in a playful and enjoyable manner, children are more likely to develop a love for numbers and problem-solving. This positive mindset can lead to improved performance in math-related subjects in school.

    In conclusion, math skills toys are powerful tools for nurturing a child's mathematical abilities. They offer a stimulating and enjoyable way to develop critical thinking, problem-solving, and spatial reasoning skills. By incorporating these toys into a child's playtime, parents and educators can lay a strong foundation for a lifelong love of math and a bright academic future.
