We mark International Safety Pin Day on April 10 every year. This unofficial observance is dedicated to the simple but clever and useful invention — safety pins. The safety pin is used for a lot of things. For example, it is used to secure clothes together, as a decoration, and is also worn as accessories. Walter Hunt invented and patented the safety pin, and the truth is that the design of this object has not changed much since its invention. It is a day to celebrate the simple, useful invention of Hunt.
National Youth HIV and AIDS Awareness Day
National Youth HIV and AIDS Awareness Day is celebrated on April 10 every year. This day aims at raising awareness, generating conversations, and spotlighting the work being done to reduce HIV and AIDS among young people. This is a very important day to remember because HIV/AIDS among youth is a bigger problem than many believe it to be, according to the most recent HIV statistics. It is therefore critical to promote young voices and peer-to-peer education as powerful weapons in the fight against the AIDS epidemic. This is not just a government obligation, we all have our role to play in creating awareness and saving lives.
World Homeopathy Day
World Homeopathy Day is celebrated on April 10 every year. This day aims at marking the importance of homeopathy and its contributions to traditional medicine. This day also honors the memory of Dr. Christian Friedrich Samuel Hahnemann — the founder of homeopathy. Samuel Hahnemann was born in 1755 and grew up in Meissen in Germany. He received his medical degree in Erlangen in 1779. Homeopathy comes from ‘homeo’ and ‘pathos,’ Greek words. Homeo means similar and pathos means suffering or disease. One of the most striking features of homeopathy is that it was described as quackery, irregular, fringe, or complementary and alternative medicine (CAM.)
