The preparatory work has been done by Erika Erdmann and Professor Jean-Claude Leonide in their world survey of possible interested scientists (see idea 526). The world needs urgently such an association. Robert's The Miracle, Joy and Art of Living, Volume II Chapter 11 - Of Gratitude I often think of Sir John Templeton and Peter Stewart, the founders of World Thanksgiving Square in Dallas. How right they are: there should be a World Thanksgiving Day. Perhaps the International Day of the Family, proclaimed by the United Nations and celebrated on the 15th of May could become that day. I obtained to have the year 2000 declared World Thanksgiving Year by the UN General Assembly.

Daily Good Imagination is more important than knowledge. -- Albert Einstein Good News of the Day: When Arunachalam Muruganantham hit a wall in his research on creating a sanitary napkin for poor women, he decided to do what most men typically wouldn't dream of. He wore one himself -- for a whole week. Fashioning his own menstruating uterus by filling a bladder with goat's blood, Muruganantham went about his life while wearing women's underwear, occasionally squeezing the contraption to test out his latest iteration. It resulted in endless derision and almost destroyed his family. But no one is laughing at him anymore, as the sanitary napkin-making machine he went on to create is transforming the lives of rural women across India. Right now, 88% of women in India resort to using dirty rags, newspapers, dried leaves, and even ashes during their period. Perhaps most amazing of all? Muruganantham is a high school dropout.
