It's really effective though. There are no translations to English. Only mini games where you're thrown into the deep end and have to match the words.

Review on Google play store. Average rating 4.7.

One of the reviews says: You guys definitely need to make an adult version of this. This is literally the best way to learn any language.

Guinea worm disease is close to being eradicated – how was this progress achieved?

In the late 1980s, there were near a million new cases of guinea worm disease recorded worldwide. In 2021, there were only 15. How was this achieved?

Happy 100th birthday to Jimmy Carter! 🥳🎂 His work through the Carter Center drove a massive decline in guinea worm disease, resulting in one of my all-time favourite charts. From hundreds of thousands of cases each year in the 1980s...to just 14 last year. That's a log scale!

Chart showing the decline in cases of guinea worm disease. The large decline is shown on a log scale. From a peak of around a million cases in the late 1980s (when testing and prevention efforts were ramping up) to less than 100 cases worldwide since the 2010s. In 2024, only 14 cases were identified globally. Most were in Chad.
