The students at SUNY New Paltz and the people who live in the Village of New Paltz were recently informed of a contamination issue in our water supply. As a result, the university has decided to close off all water supply including the washing machines, water fountains and have closed off the showers for on-campus residents. Our health is being compromised for personal hygiene as well as hydration. SUNY New Paltz is also does not sell water bottles on campus, so those without transportation are forced to pay to get these necessities.
As of right now there have been signs of petroleum and bisphenol which are both very severe for our health and safety. These basic human necessities are being taken away but we are still required to attend our classes. This petition is for the students of SUNY New Paltz to get the answers we want and the essentials we need. Until this problem is resolved, our main issue should be our health and not the additional stress of classes. Thank you.Read more

Reading is a gift and you do not realize this gift until you meet someone deprived or less blessed with this gift. Imagine being in a Chinese class where everyone can read from the textbook but for you, the letters do not speak they are all just gibberish. That is how a child with Dyslexia feels in Pakistan however, he is labeled as rather lazy, stupid, dumb, and much more. Not knowing a foreign language is supposed to be okay though no? How often has each of us accommodated people who were unfamiliar or excelled in our local language? If helping them is okay why deprive these children of the help they need? My aim with this petition is for Dyslexia to be accepted as a disability in Pakistan and for the government to take the following basic actions in all schools.
Firstly, the children should not be asked to be enrolled in special schools for abnormal children because Dyslexia is a disability, not an abnormality and there is a fine line between the two.
Secondly, small accommodations that can help children that also fit into the school's budget are:
oral tests wherever possible like for MCQs, fill in the blanks, Match the column, etc.
eradicating reading for these children in front of the whole class because that shatters their self-esteem which can lead to depression which affects the quality of life which in turn affects the whole household creating unrest in the whole society.
giving them more time to take tests.
teachers can record their lessons and send them to parents so the child can revise and learn better.
According to the latest statistics, around 34% or 12 million children need help so on behalf of all those I urge you to sign this petition and give them the help they deserve.
Every child is special and every child matters, not to forget Dyslexic children might have higher IQ (proved in many cases) than other children.
every child deserves love and every child MATTERS.

IBD affects up to 40,000 people in Ireland with numbers rising,it is a life long condition with no cure.
We feel that IBD should be recognoised on the list of the long term illness scheme,a list which has not been updated since the 1970's. Should IBD be recognised it would mean that those living with IBD could avail of drugs,medicines and surgery without having to worry about any kind of charge.
The scheme is for those suffering (yes suffering) with a prescribed disease or disability of a permanent or long term nature ie IBD,studies show there has been a notable rate of increases in the past number of decades.
IBD is a life long,lonely and expensive disease that forces many to have little to no quality of life. Medicines and biologics may help but they will always have flares and other complications relating to IBD.
Put IBD on the long term illness list.Read more
