Twenty-eight-year-old Muhibullah is a tuberculosis (TB) survivor who has become a health worker after being cured of the illness. He has made it his mission to help other patients, and raise awareness among his community about the disease.
Muhibulah stayed in the hospital for the next six months and continued his treatment course until he was cured.
After that, he stayed on at the hospital, not as an under-treatment patient, but as a health worker, helping others.
Muhibullah is now an active member of the TB association and participates in TB intervention programs, raising awareness about the risks of the disease among communities. He earns 8,000 AFN per month.
“I get a very good feeling when I help others because I know what they have been through."
Although tuberculosis is still prevalent in some communities in Afghanistan, it is particularly widespread among internally displaced persons (IDPs) and refugees returning from neighboring countries, where there are three times as many TB cases than in the general population. What is more, access to TB control services is very limited in these settings, due to high mobility, poverty, and low awareness.
The continued deteriorating security situation in the country has resulted in displacement of an estimated 1.2 million people in need of urgent humanitarian assistance including healthcare. In addition, more than 610,000 Afghan returnees from Pakistan, Iran and other countries were repatriated in 2017 further exasperating the situation. Both of these vulnerable populations represent Key Affected Populations (KAP) for TB control as well as general health service delivery.
To respond to this, the UNDP-managed Global Fund programme, in close coordination with the Ministry of Public Health, implements projects to detect TB cases in the Afghan population, so they can receive the proper treatment. These programmes also aim to protect the rest of the population who are at risk of infection due to poor health and lack of sanitary infrastructure.

Mom & Daughter help plant Town flowers. On a sunny Friday afternoon, Asst. Town Clerk Jill Swartz and her daughter Grace spend a little mother/daughter quality time as they work with Town Clerk Mary Ryman and her husband and Bristol Indiana Parks President Linda Powell to begin the planting of the town flower pots. Other members of the Friends of the Bristol Parks will be helping to finish all the preparation of the pots and the actual planting of the flowers in all the hanging pots and street-side planters along East Vistula Street. This year’s theme of red, white and blue flowers helps to celebrate the Town Hall’s 100th Birthday Party at the Town Hall on Saturday Aug. 16, 2014 - More details to come on this event. Public will be invited. The Bristol Park board is always looking for more volunteers to help with planting of the Town flowers and other projects. The Board is preparing their 5-year Park Plan and will soon be placing surveys at the town hall, library and businesses to get input from Bristol Citizens on plans for the Parks and ask for ideas on improvements. If you are interested in joining Friends of the Parks contact Linda Powell of Bristol’s Park Board for more info at bristolindiana@gmail.com

Creating abstract images with help from mother nature!
Using mobile technology (iPhone 5S) to capture images of flowers. The next step consists of cropping and filtering a single image of a flower or flowers. Using a split mirror to give the abstract effect and cool designs. Some images contain multiple filters while others have no filter at all. I found the best results for multi colored images are bouquets from your local florist or market.
Um, yeah, I'd be screaming for help too if I found that guy. I like how the full body shot seems to have been taken in a blood-stained cement dungeon of some sort.
Puppy with mange on Serangan island, Bali.
The health issues of dogs on Bali has been an ongoing problem but there are groups out there helping poor creatures such as this, however, politics are causing numerous groups to close their doors. It is a sad plight and miserable for those who are left to suffer in silence without a human voice............
It was such a nice neighborhood, South of the Boulevard.
One day it was "Bumps," the next it was a desperate cry for help.
