Supporting cancer patient care in Rwanda - one person at a time.

[Komera Rwanda! Cancer Foundation @komeraforrwanda]

In keeping with the Komera Rwanda Cancer Foundation commitment to care for the whole person, including our spiritual needs, we printed these prayer cards hoping that we might help all Rwandans cope with cancer and with the many health care challenges of the the COVID pandemic.

Global inequality is the result of two centuries of uneven economic growth—

For most of history, almost everyone everywhere was very poor. Hunger was common, half of the children died, and, as the chart shows, average incomes were low across all regions.

The chart also shows how people’s incomes have changed over the last two centuries.

The chart highlights a stark divergence: while average incomes in every region have increased, the pace of this growth has varied enormously. Western Europe and the “Western Offshoots” (like the US and Australia) experienced early and sustained economic growth. Meanwhile, Sub-Saharan Africa and South Asia grew much more slowly.

Two hundred years ago, people in all regions were similarly poor. Today, the average incomes of people in Australia, the US, or Denmark are more than 15 times higher than those in Sub-Saharan Africa.

It’s been almost 6 months since getting off hormonal birth control.
Half a year of no panic attacks
Half a year of no mood swings
Half a year of no depression

This has changed my life and I wish I had researched what a negative impact it could have on my body, I thought so much was wrong with me, every now and then I’ll feel some anxiety and think I’m going to have a panic attack and it hasn’t happened since I stopped taking it.
I’m going to repeat this, it CHANGED my life. If my post helps ONE woman, it’s worth it.

Share if you think it might help someone you know, or just to spread awareness. I’m not saying this is for everyone but if someone is suffering like I did, they deserve to know they can do the research just like me.
