When you think of viral videos, helping vulnerable communities is probably the last thing that comes to mind.
But @followDMI used them to help caregivers and children in isolated communities.

@goodreads I listen to audible during tube travel. But my headphones are not very good at noise cancellation which is affecting my progress at finishing the books I want to. Any advice about good noise cancelling ear plugs?

Great discussions about future of SBCC at #SBCCSummit during final plenary: is our work really led by communities; role of #AI for SBCC programming; and caution that the latter does not replace former! #Communication of #Knowledge as #humanright perspective important.

@DeoSahil So many people in Pune are having symptoms indicative of covid/flu and do not want to test thinking it may be flu. Even though they may have mild /moderate symptoms, the impact on transmission if covid cannot be ignored esp in crowded city like Pune.

@PMCPune information for disposal/collection of covid #hometest #specimens should be given to people & garbage collectors (often don’t wear protective gear) & garbage collection system needs to support #elderly & #covid patients who are unable to take #garbage to collection point
