Singing for a Healthier World: What Can We Learn from the Global Scrub
Dr. Emma O’Brien, a music therapist at the Royal Melbourne Hospital, transformed the COVID-19 crisis into an opportunity for connection by forming the Global Scrub Choir. Unable to enter rooms, they sang through windows, offering comfort and a reminder of human connection.
Their music became a call for health as a fundamental human right, not a privilege. The choir's message highlights the need to address healthcare inequities exposed by the pandemic, for a healthier, more peaceful world where everyone has access to good health and well-being. #health

Srebrenica , city betrayed
me when i didn't prepare my class presentation:
Making solid brick from mud itself an environmental problem . Solid brick will never go away for 100,s of years while mud block will never degrade soil .
There seems to be a disconnect in these comments with the fact that the US was trying to follow Switzerland's lead and remain nuetral. Right or wrong, that explains why the media may have downplayed the horrors.
Un can stop war when America need to rob a nation Who might have oil Other wise why the hell israel is still shitting
Stop peddling for "the people that can not be named". They are no longer to be viewed as victims, but perpetrators.
What about it's compressive strength and resistance from getting washed away in floods?
From where can one get the mud brick press
Awesome 👌
Here in Ladakh most of house is mud bricks and woods...me to living in our ancestor house completely made of muds bricks and eco friendly material,now people start using cement and iron bars to construct their new house.
Words never kills
It's a beautiful awareness video, and I will be so happy to connect with such architects.
A 1996 UN study revealed, ‘In six out of 12 country studies on sexual exploitation of children in situations of armed conflict prepared for the present report, the arrival of peacekeeping troops has been associated with a rapid rise in child prostitution.’217 - In 2001, UN Peacekeeper Kathryn Bolkovac publicly exposed an elite underage sex trafficking operation in Bosnia involving the UN, US State Department, US Military, and DynCorp International (a global private military contractor funded by the US federal government).218 - In 2017, investigative journalists revealed, 114 UN Peacekeepers ran a child sex ring in Haiti for a decade but were never imprisoned.

Hero, saint. I love you. Thank you ❤
We are already sustainable (#India). These are common practices in India. But in the era of globalasation/ modernization the bad products and practices are imposed on the people.

When she thought, that they discovered the gold, they almost wanted to quit as an architect. 😅
Scary but impressively true words were spoken by Ken Burns. We need to get ready and strengthen ourselves to face these painful realities.

This whole concept is just wonderful & makes so much sense.
Nothing new in India, visit rural india, one can find many beautiful mud houses. Some mud houses of Bengal are even consist of three floors with mud made stairs. Instead promoting this UN should find and promote those local artists who build such beautiful houses.

Congratulations, keep going....well done...❤👏👏👏👏💓👍💐💐💐
Is the house made with 100% mud only, even the pillars ? Or is it Just walls that is made of mud. If such then better dont mention climate change if u r using concrete cement woods for pillars and roofs.😊
Yes He Dud I saw it I was 10 years old I saw it on TV
This is irrefutable proof that TDS is real! Where once intelligent individuals have been brainwashed by a media narrative that’s laughable propaganda based on complete projection with recent history to the contrary! To think that Ken Burns’ reasoning has descended to the level of Robert DeNiro is very sad indeed. 🇺🇸😡🇺🇸😎🇺🇸
What these architects need to do is some how make the designs more modern while using traditional materials in order for mass acceptance. India is a country where people buy SUV's for showing off... they will never accept simple looking houses if they cannot show off in society...
We had only mud houses and organic forms in our society 50 years ago,
Mud house construction is a concept only for the benefit of Architects and masons The implementation is more costly than the normal house. Architects enjoy to implement their ideas at the cost of the owner.
I had built a house 20years back using mud blocks. Im building another one which is bigger in size now. Building a eco friendly house was very tough 20 years back now its easier
Yes, stations like Fox.
Gr8 achievement. Girls..keep going to save d environment which is badly needed. D coolness inside these houses in summer n d heat in winter, real bliss. Going back in time...❤❤❤
Hobbies for the rich, poor people tend to leave mud houses and move to RCC.

Why are the other genocides committed by the Bosnian Muslims against the Christians not mentioned?! There were hundreds of genocides committed in the war in Yugoslavia and the alleged genocide in Srebrenica is just one of many. But, it seems that this is a political propaganda behind which stands USA, a country that has murdered millions of Indians. It is time to disband the United Nations which has become a fascist organization doing the business of American regime. .

Im So Sorry for what Happened to the Immensely Proud Nation of Japan. It makes me Cry to Imagine all of the Shock Horror and suffering of such a Beautiful and Proud Country. Coupled with the Fact that you are now Subjugated in the name of peace. As A New Zealander, I say No.
Fidel Castro, after that famous speech, began the systematic destruction of the most advanced country, after Argentina, Paraguay and Uruguay, when Fidel Castro died, of 119 sugar mills he left only eight, the rest he turned into scrap metal, then he destroyed the economy, the family, the youth, he imprisons, shoots, exiles, kills hundreds of thousands of Cubans at sea, represses, imprisons, destroys everything in his path.
How do I consult with you?
Part of the problem is 1 people smoke and inject something youre supposed to eat which is widely disagreed upon. And 2 they keep abusing the plants with this knife incising nonsense. 3 if they actually loved the plants they would treat them good. 4 they attack these medicines with harsh chemicals and refine and concentrate them into nasty stuff nature never intended. We need sane people doing these types of jobs.
You people are such jerks from top to bottom. Stop abusing the flowers by cutting them so they don't think you hate them. Let the flower go all the way to seed maturity before you harvest it. Stop interfering with people growing their own medicine. And get out of other people's lives.
I saw a lot of art and ideology. Not a lot of engineering or a replicable process that might help climate change.
