On 27 March, the Global Polio Eradication Initiative (GPEI) will declare the South-East Asia Region of the World Health Organization polio-free, an important milestone in the worldwide effort to eradicate polio. The 11 countries in the region -- Bangladesh, Bhutan, Democratic People’s Republic of Korea, India, Indonesia, Maldives, Myanmar, Nepal, Sri Lanka, Thailand, and Timor-Leste -- are home to 1.8 billion people and represent the fourth of six regions worldwide to be officially certified polio-free.

What is a Thunderclap?
Social media makes it easy to say something, but with so many people talking, it can be hard to get your message heard. As the first-ever crowdspeaking platform, Thunderclap helps your voice rise above the noise of social networks. When a large group sends one message in a kind of social media flash mob, its voice is amplified, making it possible to create change like never before.
