'Today, I am writing to you, on the occasion of the #WorldTeachersDay , to say a very big thank you to all #UNRWA teachers & to education staff irrespective of where they are...' 👩‍🏫📚

Wishing all teachers around the world a very, happy #WorldTeachersDay and sending a massive thank you for all your amazing work 💐

This is HOPE!

'I don’t claim that books should be eliminated, but there are more modern ways to use them. We can’t enter a classroom, read something, then leave. You have to enter, incorporate new skills that function with the students, and capture their attention if they aren’t attentive.'

One. Hundred. Million. People.
This has to matter.
This has to be a turning point.
Humanity deserves better. #ForcedToFlee
