Join in the Effort to Make a Healthy World
*
Our world is made up of families;
Some are poor and some, wealthy.
For majority to be healthy
Don’t take it as just a blessing.

Think and Seek the Answer
* Hard drugs, have only done harm
To all humanity in this world
For which reason, our ancestors
Throughout Myanmar
Have seriously curbed and prevented
As evidence clearly shows.
