Thanks to generous support from friends around the world, @MukwashiZambia now has 100s of books that have characters that look like the children who are reading them. Seeing ourselves represented in books allows us to imagine ourselves beyond our own imaginations.

@MukwashiZambia our Agricultural Sciences teacher, Mr. Nice Sichinga and his students got their hands dirty planting: 19 Oranges, 19 Guavas, 5 Tangelos, 5 Nectarines, 11 Lemons, 14 Mangos trees! Just waiting for our avocado trees!

Next Wednesday, all Grade 12s in 🇿🇲will begin writing the national exams. We wish them all the best of luck - especially after a difficult year with Covid closures. Share some encouraging words with our grade 12s to get them through the month of exams ahead. #exams

UPDATE: This is not your usual bathroom renovation. When this project is complete, 500 primary & secondary students will have access to awesome, modern, hygienic toilets that don't need electricity! Thanks to all who've given. If you haven't and you can, https://t.co/X1RNn0wWrm

Canada's Aaron Brown finished 6th in the men's 200m final, but he's hungry and still looking to chase medals in Tokyo 🇨🇦

10 visits to the @themuseumofmodernart and the balloon finally dropped :) No funny business, helium ran out. The jump photo was for dramatic effect. #NYCMoment I <3 MoMA

Happy #SiblingsDay to @debmanni and Frankie. You are my longest ever (not-by-choice) friends and I feel lucky to have you by my side in life.

[Laura Manni @BeAhummingbird]

Happy Women's Day. Here's to a more equal world for everyone. Not sure why it's taking us so long. (P.S. I know it's tomorrow)

I gave the @ToMoveMTNS future teachers the challenge of passing the balloon from one end of their line to another without using their hands. Here's one team's solution! #problemSolving #future #teacherstudent

[Laura Manni @BeAhummingbird]

@danjlevy apparently being Canadian 🇨🇦doesn't mean I am part of your "bubble"! I #DisgruntledPelican Good luck tonight! #SNL @debmanni @LCasalinuovo @MsCBettio

What does belonging look like or mean to you?

[Laura Manni @BeAhummingbird]

We're learning about the role of teachers in cultivating peer-to-peer relationships at school so we've been exploring the concept of belonging. I recently asked the @ToMoveMTNS teacher trainees to share an image or quote they felt captured belonging. Here are their responses.

[Laura Manni @BeAhummingbird]

Every once in awhile you get to be part of something spectacular. My 'once-in-awhiles' have been plentiful. So grateful to be a small part of To Move Mountains Projects https://t.co/mKn6lmYkiD @RyanBoyette #futureteachers #NubaMountains #change

[Laura Manni @BeAhummingbird]

Meanwhile in Uganda. @ToMoveMTNS future teachers have been busy putting the final touches on their Teacher Toolboxes. When they head back home, these toolboxes will be filled with teaching & learning strategies they can draw on in their own classrooms & share with fellow teachers
