@NunaxMx @radhakarn Bullying ghosts. 🤣 Creating merit can be done daily by being kind to everyone. If you want to donate do so within your means to help others. Donate blood, help the elderly and disadvantaged children. Grow a garden share food.

@anishmoonka @SenseOf_OUTRAGE Amazing! People should appreciate the privilege they can access clean drinking water. Thank you to the scientists and workers who help eradicate this parasite.

A parasite that has been eating people for 3,500 years is about to be wiped off the planet. It infected 3.5 million people in 1986. Last year, it infected 10. And I have not seen it make a single front page.
It is called Guinea worm. You drink contaminated water from a pond in a poor village. A year later, a worm up to three feet long starts coming out of your leg through a burning blister. There is no pill that stops it and no surgery that works. You wrap the worm around a stick and pull it out slowly, over days or weeks, inch by inch. If you rush, the worm breaks inside you and causes a fresh infection.
Guinea worm is ancient. Preserved worms have been pulled out of Egyptian mummies from around 1000 BCE. The Ebers Papyrus, an Egyptian medical scroll from 1550 BCE, describes pulling the worm out with a stick. For three and a half thousand years, that was the best humans could do.
Then in 1986, public health workers decided to kill the parasite off. They had no vaccine and no drug. What they had was cheap cloth water filters and a small army of volunteers willing to walk from village to village for decades.
The plan was simple. Give everyone who drinks from a pond a cloth filter to strain out the tiny water fleas that spread the parasite. Then send volunteers walking house to house, year after year, teaching people how to use the filters and keeping anyone with an emerging worm out of the water.
It worked. From 3.5 million cases a year to 10. Four were in Chad, four in Ethiopia, two in South Sudan. The other four countries where the worm used to be common, Angola, Cameroon, the Central African Republic, and Mali, had zero human cases for the second year in a row. The World Health Organization has already certified 200 countries as Guinea worm free. Six are left.
The last hurdle is dogs. Cameroon had 445 infected animals last year and Chad had 147, so a lot of the remaining work is on animals, not humans. Strays get leashed, and crews treat ponds to kill any remaining worms. The campaign keeps watching until the number hits zero.
When Guinea worm hits zero, it becomes the second human disease ever erased from the planet. The first was smallpox. It will also be the first parasite humans have ever wiped out, and the first disease ever ended without a single dose of medicine. Volunteers walked village to village with cloth filters for 40 years. Now a plague from the age of the pharaohs is about to be gone.

Give me the kind of good news from around the world that nobody ever talks about... but should.

@rushicrypto They are destroying safety nets so we take out each other. It saves them money.

@AmazingThailand Any eco-minded homestay where I can borrow ปิ่นโต to buy local food. It can be a mini homestead near a canal where I can feed native fish or bike path. I'm thinking บางกระเจ้า would be amazing.

If you had an unlimited budget, where would you travel to first?

@ChaNay14811 In the woven bamboo basket for sticky rice. Do Thai people layer it with anything to keep the rice from drying and sticking to the sides? It makes it hard to clean.

@Vanazia I'm always happy to learn about Burmese culture and the other ethnic groups in Myanmar. I was happy to donate to the earthquake recovery fund to a group here in Northern California. I hope Myanmar achieves peace soon. I believe many Thai people would love to visit.

@SeeksMaria @JeremyWard33 I'm just sharing ideas. By vocation I mean it can be anything like a space for artists to teach crafts to introduce people to art. In my city we have a senior center which teaches the elderly pottery and weaving, crochet etc. It can help bring income to teachers too.
English

@Turtle2Pond @JeremyWard33 this sounds idealistic but “classrooms for other vocations” means schools. nonprofits are usually given large sums of taxpayer dollars. did they get a say on where their $ goes? converting CRE to housing often lacks the $ infrastructure which is why they get torn down

@pizad_sura High quality food add some warm water or shrimp and fish broth on occasion. I mixed in frozen food, dry food and once in a while steamed fish with warm water or broth. THe extra liquid prevents kidney problems. Alot of mental stimulation through play too.

@ZlatanJanP @belldelagua Since the 1970 to 1990s many female Thai registered nurses RNs worked alongside Filipinos in many major hospitals in Los Angeles too na kha. Thai-American families prospered from the hard work of their mothers since most RNs are women.

@NoiPijarana Being independent and self-sufficient means we can also abide by the 5 precepts. After we build ourselves up then we can help family, friends and the community.

@JeremyWard33 Roof can be used for farming. It has been done all over the world, and you can produce a lot of food and jobs. A team calculates the weight allowable, specific soil mixes and certain shallow root veggies. I recall a project in NYC and somewhere in Canada.

@jessieX999 @cherrypattieee So he is saying water fights with water guns belongs to Thailand but nothing else. Does he have any idea of all the other traditions of Songkran?

สงกรานต์มีรากเหง้าจากอินเดีย แต่สงกรานต์คือของไทยค่ะ นักวิชาการบางคนมักสับสนกับการที่วัฒนธรรมเปลี่ยนแปลงไปตามกาลเวลา ชอบฟันธงว่าถ้ามีต้นกำเนิดที่ไหน ก็ต้องเป็นของที่นั่น ทั้งๆที่ระยะเวลาการสร้างวัฒนธรรมสงกรานต์ที่เป็นของไทยจริงๆมันใช้เวลาเป็นร้อยเป็นพันปีเหมือนกัน

คนไทยเป็นผีสางอะไรกันไปหมด ฝรั่งบอกสงกรานต์เป็นของไทย จะเล่นสงกรานต์ให้สนุกต้องมาเล่นที่ไทย แต่คนไทยบอกไม่ใช่ของไทย ฉันเห็นออกมาหอนกันหลายคนแล้ว คือ จะไม่ให้มีอะไรเลยเหรอ หนักหัวมาก จะตายงี้
