Who’s seen Tim Burton’s blockbuster, Alice in Wonderland?

Well, just like the Mad Hatter, I have a riddle for you…

What do 600 million girls and Alice in Wonderland have in common?

Answer. They’ve all tumbled down a rabbit hole…into a dark tunnel … confronted by barriers …locked doors … feeling unsure… out of place. Lost in a world where there is no sense, where nonsense prevails.

Nonsense like girls walking 10 kilometers every day on empty stomachs to find water for their families…

(Jordan Times - Amman) Her Majesty Queen Rania asked the Royal Health Awareness Society (RHAS) to coordinate its efforts with concerned institutions, define its responsibilities and set criteria for quality control.

The Queen, who chairs the RHAS board of trustees, stressed the need to apply these standards to society’s programmes, especially school health and nutrition programmes.
