Bangladesh – Floating Farms

Have you ever heard of Bangladesh’s floating vegetable farms?  Well, for about nine months of the year, the country is faced with rainfall.  Additionally, it is about 60% home of Ganges-Brahmaputra Delta.  This is the largest river delta in the world.  While this region is very fertile and the crops tasty, farmers also struggle during the Monsoon period.  Therefore many of them travel far away from home to find work.
However, some farmers have been taught by their parents and grandparent how to make and work on a floating farm.  This way, farmers can sustain themselves and others during the difficult months.

God's Care

In Paris, an 18-month-old baby boy, who was left in an apartment with his three-year-old sister while their parents went for a stroll, fell out of a window. The baby fell from the eighth floor. He fell through the window, bounced off the awning of a restaurant and landed in the arms of someone who was walking by. The baby did not seem to have suffered any physical injury. Wow!  Thank the Lord.

Maldives - Rejoins

In 1982, Maldives joined the Commonwealth. However, in 2016, the country left it, which was in response to the Commonwealth’s suspension warning. The Maldives’ government claimed that the Commonwealth “sought to become an active participant in the Maldives' domestic political discourse, which is contrary to the principles of the charters of the UN and the Commonwealth.” Then, on the 1st February 2020, under the Ibrahim Mohamed Solih government, the country rejoined the Commonwealth.  Note: The Commonwealth https://thecommonwealth.org/our-member-countries/maldives
