1) Home in the World: A Memoir

"The ubiquitous consultants found in the government are, at best, a compliment to a capable state, not a substitute for a weak state. Both government and “consultants” need to be alive to this truth." @AiyarYamini shows the mirror. https://t.co/DyBzMARKHp
This really great great piece by @hamnazubair for @voguemagazine talks about some of the work being done by Mama Baby Fund and others on ground for pregnant women who have been affected by the floods in Pakistan.
