You read Mahi's poem last week. This week, we learn a little about her in our student profile. Future software engineer. #girlswhocode #syrian #refugee

#TBT Summer of 2019. That's Gihan. Sweetest girl. She & her family moved back to #Syria at the end of that summer. Taking a chance to see if they can salvage life in their homeland. Measuring educational impact is challenging to start. Even harder with people on the move.

Social Media is not going away. What do we do? We can teach our youth basic #digitalliteracy so they can 1/ understand how to protect themselves 2/ see all that is possible beyond #socialmedia. Like all tools, we can use it for good or evil.

Nargis says it so eloquently. That's the goal of our summer camp program. To provide a place so youth can experience each other as equals, irrespective of background, income, gender, faith, and etc. We believe these are the first steps to a more equitable world for all.

Layla is the star of our student profile this wk. Current podcast host. Future doctor. Exceptional Kurdish dancer. Being a refugee does not mean they are without initiative, talent, or imagination.

We are deeply grateful to all our supporters who came on this journey with us, 5 years & counting. We are grateful for our student & the trust you bestow on us. We don't take any of it for granted. THANK YOU.

Ahmed was ready to quit school. 15 yrs old, living in a refugee camp. Our program reignited his drive & he stayed in school. Sometimes they just need someone to believe in them. There are thousands of Ahmeds. Make a donation & help a kid. #GivingTuesday hellofuture.io

Rohat, age 17. Future doctor. Can you see how hungry & curious she is? We see lots of girls like her. Reserved & shy, w/ limitless potential & ambition. They need cheering on, a safe space to speak & be heard. Support #girlseducation #GivingTuesday hellofuture.io

#TBT Summer 2019. "It takes a village" is no hyperbole. There is a team of dedicated staff, volunteers, board members, and donors making all of our programs possible. There is no short cut to education, no matter what VC and Start-Up founders want you to believe.

👀👀 Thank you Jason Reynolds News & David Yurman. We appreciate your generous support!

#Hackathon --- We love Team Wasp's solution to the burnt-out students are experiencing with remote learning. Adjust the schedule so they have one day a week without Zoom. To get caught up & do the work that is required to LEARN. So simple. Busy is not the same as learning.

Some problems require local knowledge & localized solution. In Arbat refugee camp, the students do not have textbooks making remote learning all but impossible. Team Big Bang proposed for all the students to share a digital copy of the textbooks via Google Drive. #Hackathon

#TBT - Summer 2019. There is an incredible amount of joy and satisfaction in teaching, helping. It takes a village to make our work happen. We couldn't do it without you ---- our generous donors, supporters, volunteers, staff, and board members. <3

Team UNIS "Science at Home" solution is brilliant! #VC are you paying attention? This is a great solution and will go a long way to encourage #STEM at home and in the classroom. #Hackathon

Team Holly Minds wants to design an AI-based learning app to bring personalized learning to refugee students worldwide. Our favorite part is the app will periodically ping the student to make sure they are still awake should they be inactive 4 more than 15 mins. LOL. #Hackathon

Virtual Reality feels like a tech that could have been but never was. You should see the joy it brings our refugee students. To experience VR 4 the first time, transported outside of the camp, to somewhere you've always wanted to go...Paris! Bali! New York City! It's magic. #TBT

So honored to be a guest on So Money Podcast with Farnoosh Torabi 🙋🏻‍♀️. Financial literacy is so essential for refugee youth and yet not enough NGOs are teaching this fundamental. Full Ep here: bit.ly/2PjkHdR

A great read on @the74 looking at what lessons we can learn from a 'mobile-first' #elearning programme operated by Hello Future for students living in a Syrian refugee camp in the Iraqi Kurdistan region #educhat bit.ly/3wC141F
