On #WorldTeachersDay, we are celebrating the incredible work of teachers across the globe who are championing education for their students even amidst incredible hardships and challenges. As the @UNESCO theme describes it: “Teachers: Leading in crisis, reimagining the future”
Providing resources and equipping teachers is at the core of EDGE’s mission.
We’re grateful for so many opportunities to support teachers in their work. We have a major pivot coming to expand the reach of these programs in new ways, into many new places. Stay tuned! #eGAP

As so many pivot to remote learning and all the challenges it brings with it, even this remains out of reach for some 500 million students. New approaches will be needed to ensure learning continues.

You explore the world, of course!

I want to focus on education. I am an advocate for education. Since being in US, I have understood importance of education for Yezidi population. From Ottoman empire to ISIS, we have been persecuted; no access to real education. This is a basic need for us, for #Yezidi #Yazidi
