@WHereaka Sending big hugs your way Whiti, I feel so lucky that she held me in her orbit. Such generosity, warmth, and as you say - high expectations, that she made me so inspired to try and meet. ❤️❤️❤️

Disasters have a huge impact on human rights. And human rights violations in turn increase disaster risk by exacerbating vulnerabilities.
This is why taking a human rights-based approach to #DRR is crucial. But what does this look like? ➡️https://t.co/5Tn0OTA5Si

So super proud of my mum for being a finalist in this bad ass Italian children’s book award, unfortunately they only fly the author to Rome and not their third child.

Nice to see Eirlys Hunter as a finalist in the 11+ section of the Strega Prize. The jury seems to consist of "three thousand seven hundred students between 6 and 13 years of age"! https://t.co/IsmIIBryAH
