Artisans in Guangopolo, Ecuador, are struggling to keep the traditional craft of weaving horsehair sieves alive. 50 years ago, about 500 families made a living from the craft, selling up to 600 sieves a month. Now they sell only about 10 each week.

Industrial growth and environmental changes have made sourcing materials difficult and expensive, and younger generations are not interested in continuing the tradition.

Time again to count Uganda's lakes.
165.
All still there and accounted for.
All still beautiful.

Cute capybara cuddles cat. If you want to see South America's indigenous furry capybara (world's largest rodent) here in Africa, go the National Zoological Garden of South Africa (aka Pretoria Zoo) in Gauteng, South Africa -- one of the few prominent accredited zoos on the continent where they live and thrive.

Lest we forget the sins of the last generation! Today in 1995, what is considered one of Hollywood’s worst major films set in Africa, "Congo," a retelling of colonial grab-Africa's-riches story "King Solomon’s Mines," is released to critical scorn and popular ridicule.😂

The blue morpho butterfly's remarkable color is not due to pigmentation but iridescence, with microscopic scales on its wings reflecting light, creating what is known as structural coloration.

Banaue Rice Terraces are the world’s oldest rice terraces. The 2,000 years old terraces were carved by indigenous Filipino’s ancestors. The terraces are 1,500 meters above sea level and have an ancient but efficient irrigation system.

I remember the first time I cooked beans in Haiti. It was 2010, right after the earthquake. I thought I knew what I was doing…Spanish-style, the way I always had.

The women cooking in the camp stopped me. They showed me their way. Slow-cooked…mashed into a purée…served over rice.

In that moment, I learned what it really means to help after a disaster. You don't come with your own recipes. You listen. You follow. You learn.

16 years later, that lesson is still the foundation of everything @wckitchen does in Haiti. Our local teams and @HASHaiti partners are cooking that same recipe - the right recipe - for families displaced by violence. And this past year, comforting food like those beans, that purée, that bowl of rice have added up to 10 million meals.
