The scenery along Li River in Guilin, Guangxi. The most beautiful section of the river is from Guilin to Yangshuo, approximately 83 km. Floating down the river is like being taken into a landscape painting: pass hills, caves, bamboo groves and villages and fishing by cormorants.

If this does happen, I think all of us will have to acknowledge that theBrits have done something very rare in the world,to place a member of a visible minority in the most powerful office. As we Indians celebrate the ascent of @RishiSunak, let's honestly ask: can it happen here?

It is not doctors, medicines or politicians that save children's lives in poor nations like #Afghanistan.

It is educated mothers.

WHO Research shows mothers who can read and write alone are responsible for 50% increase in child survival among poor nations.
