I'm sad that Jimmy Carter won't get to see this.

He once said that he hoped that the last Guinea worm would die before he did. His nonprofit, the Carter Foundation, did incredible work in pushing forward here. He was able to negotiate a 6 month humanitarian cease fire to allow aid to high-conflict areas of South Sudan, which had one of the highest incidence rates for Guinea worm disease.
