Letter Published in Gulf News UAE on  2 Feb 17,Getting better

The opinion piece was meaningful and thought provoking (‘Why 2017 may be the best year ever’, Gulf News, January 25). The author has nicely analysed and elaborated the past records and how this year will be better. Most poor countries, like Somalia have seen improvements over the years. The writer’s experience in Madagascar with regards to climate change and the people’s opinion was different. They worried about their children’s safety because of the unhygienic conditions. Today’s records prove that many people that been saved from diseases over the previous year and living conditions with electricity and many have graduated school from poor families. This is really a good indication that 2017 will be better.
