@r_evarts Hang in there. In case you are having trouble staying in contact with parents. Sms goes through more than phone calls/ internet data, during power outages, as they use less bandwidth. I'm still searching for reliable aid groups for that district and will post when I find one.

@ashoswai Absolutely heartbreaking. Does anyone know if these elephants managed to survive?

[Ishara @Criptic]

@r_evarts So sorry. How are things today? We hear the university is heavily damaged. Do you know of reputable aid groups that people can donate to for the Kandy/Badulla district?

For those affected by Cyclone Ditwah in Sri Lanka, Starlink is providing free service to new and existing customers through the end of December. We’re also coordinating with the Sri Lankan government to provide additional assistance → https://t.co/CgNs9mzXTe

Correction. I meant schools rarely opened for 2.5 years! In addition, remote working is hindered, something that would drive the economy with digital nomads. The Island is stunning and has the highest biodiversity per unit area of land among Asian countries.

This is an important Discussion @Jason has had with @chamath. #SriLanka teleco duopoly: state-run SLT + Dialog likely blocking teleco advances. Schools rarely opened for the past 1.5 yrs. Kids climb trees in rural areas to obtain signals to attend online classes. #foodforthought

In a recent interview with All In Podcast, US Billionaire @chamath explains why the Google Loon project failed in Sri Lanka. Speaks about corruption and infighting within the ruling class. Says he is willing to invest in Sri Lanka if the right people come into power.

@ErikSolheim Thanks for highlighting. Yes the streets are packed, people are no longer afraid to voice their concerns. Pushing the envelope for a better future for their kids. Change is imminent.

@ShineHamesha @sanjaymcwan His comment is not so much about rights I think. It's pointing to the irony of our world order.

[Commonsense @sanjaymcwan]

Elon Musk is bidding to buy Twitter with $43 billion. Country of Sri Lanka is facing debt of $45 billion to survive. There is something fundamentally wrong with the world.

@NewsWireLK wow, amazing. Stay safe everyone. 💪🏽

Starting today, Airbnb will begin housing 20,000 Afghan refugees globally for free.

The Afghan girl's robotics team aged 12-18 built a ventilator from used car parts in 2020 to treat Covid patients when resources were low - have been rescued. Brave girls who have had to leave their families behind in Afghanistan to pursue their education. https://t.co/bqVBU8geKK

@clarissaward We need you there. Or someone else who is brave enough to do this work. Please do not desert the people @CNN no one cares about news such as Nicole Kidman not being quarantined when there is a humanitarian crisis of this scale.
