Do NOT shop at #Mango. I made a splurge Xmas present for the girls. Cute bathing suits. NOT cheap. A few days later, the stitching is unraveling…. And they have refused to replace it. Crap quality materials. Shameful customer service! 😡😡😡

So good to be in the field and see the amazing work in WASH, child protection, malaria eradication, life skills for teenagers, dream corners for kids. All well implemented with excellent integration! Thanks for hosting me. ❤️

@joncoopertweets Nope, not happy. Suicide is not a joke or something to celebrate.

With the escalating cases of COVID-19 in the country, children are at a higher risk of facing stress. Below is how parents and guardians can help children deal with stress during the COVID-19 pandemic.

[World Vision Zambia @WorldVisionZamo]

COVID-19 has quickly changed the context in which children live. The pandemic may make children more vulnerable to violence.
During this period, child protection measures must be strengthened at all levels, to ensure that children are not exposed to risks brought by the COVID-19.

[Carl Skau @WFPChief]

Southern #Madagascar is the only place in the world with famine-like conditions that are NOT driven by man-made conflict. It's driven by climate change.

Industrialized nations have a moral obligation to help these people, who are paying the price for the actions of others.
