The title alone is heart wrenching. The lengths people go to get water in #Caracas: Getting Water at the River of Hell caracaschronicles.com/2019/03/12/get… via Caracas Chronicles

In numerous trips to Havana post-2014 détente, a palpable energy among Cuba’s private sector directly benefiting from increased U.S. travel and remittances was clear. Paladares were filling up, casas particulares booked, partnerships and friendships forged. (1/2)

Ease of travel between 2 countries 90 miles apart made life easier for friends and family. Not to mention businesses hard at work increasing connectivity and communication. Yesterday's annmt hard one to swallow, and I don’t see how it benefits the Cuban or American people. (2/2)

Real talk from Marian Salzman at Americas Society/Council of the Americas, debunking myth of having it all: “every choice you make involves some sacrifice or another. Can have successful career and family life, but disservice to think it’s easy to have everything all at once.” #womenASCOA

“When we invest in those early years, we put children on a path to thrive. Investing in education, is investing in something that can’t be taken away.” Sherrie Westin Sesame Workshop Concordia #concordia22

Impactful reflections from PRIYANKA after visiting families who fled war in Ukraine. “If we don’t make sure children are taken care of, receiving education, feeling sense of security & safety, it will be a lost generation. We must remember what conflict does to a child.”

“Children’s superpower is #play. When kids play, they develop crucial skills for life. Ability to interact, study, fail and get back up, learn, collaborate, develop SEL skills.” The LEGO Foundation Anne-Birgitte Albrectsen on power of play & investing in #ECD. Sesame Workshop UNICEF

“The need for our work has never been greater. Severe stress in the earliest years alters a child’s brain development & if we meet children who are in crisis in these crucial years, we can help change their trajectory” says Sherrie Westin Sesame Workshop. UNICEF The LEGO Foundation
