Todos los niños, incluidos los que están atrapados en crisis, tienen derecho a estar seguros y protegidos en la escuela para poder aprender, crecer y desarrollar su pleno potencial. Retuitea si estás de acuerdo: ¡La #EducaciónNoPuedeEsperar para ningún niño!

Yesterday I met Somaya Faruqi,@EduCannotWait Global Ambassador, at the high-level reception to honor #internationaldayofthegirl organized by @InterActionOrg . 'Education as a basic human right is not something to be determined by politics or by religion or by society'
War does not resolve any problem. It only sows death and destruction, increases hate, multiplies vengeance. War erases the future. I exhort believers to take only one side in this conflict: the side of peace – not in word, but in prayer.
Tomorrow is #WorldTeachersDay!
Please retweet to honor all the teachers around the world who are inspiring crisis-affected children to learn and develop to their full potential in the world's toughest contexts!
Each one is a true hero!

Let us not get used to considering shipwrecks as news stories, and deaths at sea as numbers: no, they are names and surnames, they are faces and stories, they are broken lives and shattered dreams. #ApostolicJourney

For peace to take root, we need to start listening to the poor again. Our communities need to change direction and treat them as brothers and sisters,not as troublesome problems; welcome them,not hide them; integrate them,not evict them; give them dignity. https://t.co/vEVUyjmBDh
Hay un grito de dolor que resuena más fuerte que los demás y que está convirtiendo el ‘mare nostrum’ en ‘mare mortuum’, el Mediterráneo de cuna de la civilización en tumba de la dignidad. Es el grito sofocado de los hermanos y hermanas migrantes. #ViajeApostólico

Congratulations to my colleagues at JRS for this report about current conditions at the US/Mexico border. JRSs binational humanitarian response ensures that those who experience the dehumanizing process of journeying to and arriving at the US/Mexico border are welcomed
La peor cara de Europa con los migrantes

@pilar_sayans@AlvaroLobosj He leído este post esta madrugada, a las 4.30am mientras alimentaba a mi bebé de un mes. El sacrificio y la generosidad parecen idílicas pero tambalean la propia existencia. Prefiero menos natalidad pero más consciente y deseada porque ser padre/madre y criar es algo sagrado.
