In 2020 Right Now @rightnowinc published some incredible stories. Thrilled to have commissioned 2 of the top 3.

WINNER: ‘I don’t dance like the other cats’ by @DrKatyBarnett was our most read story and the tale of resilience and hope that 2020 needed. https://t.co/wqzPtsfhwa

Colleagues from @WorldVisionAus doing some great storytelling on @TheYakpodcast -- happy to have @worldvisioncan collaborate on the recent Mosul episode https://t.co/M1G62nKXzk

[The Yak @TheYakpodcast]

“One principal told me that mine awareness was now on the syllabus alongside reading, writing and arithmetic,” writes World Vision’s @VanessajForrest - link to the latest episode of #TheYak embedded in the story. https://t.co/osW6lPNRnC

[Angus Smith @angussmithh]

Like missing teeth in an otherwise heartfelt smile. In Baghdad people say you can see the city that used to be; at regular intervals entire buildings have simply vanished - writes World Vision’s @VanessajForrest

Sincere thanks to @TheYakpodcast team for helping me tell the story of Raja and other children in #Iraq as they try to rebuild their lives after the devastating conflict with the so-called Islamic State
#Hope #Mosul

[Angus Smith @angussmithh]

It’s been two years since Iraqi armed forces reclaimed Mosul from the so-called Islamic State. Children are going back to school and it’s reading, writing and bomb detection on the syllabus. Listen to The Yak wherever you get your podcasts: https://t.co/meR04VaV6D

[Brianna Piazza @BriannaPiazza]

@TheYakpodcast @WVAnews A special thanks to @MAGgabrielle for speaking with us. Humanitarians couldn't carry out life-saving work without your brave colleagues at @MAGsaveslives who have the dangerous task of clearing landmines and UXOs in Northern #Iraq

[Vanessa Forrest @vanessajforrest]

Families flee deadly violence in #Syria
“It’s hard to imagine the trauma, distress and physical toll that the flight from air strikes and bombs has on families in #Idlib. And it's even worse for pregnant women and those with babies and young children”

[Angus Smith @angussmithh]

Excellent episode of @TheYakpodcast from @VanessajForrest and @BriannaPiazza. July 2019, marks the second anniversary of the end of the bloody nine month ‘Battle of Mosul’. Vanessa has just returned from Iraq and lays out some of the challenges ahead. https://t.co/meR04VaV6D

[The Yak @TheYakpodcast]

MOSUL: July marks two years since it was officially declared that Iraqi armed forces had successfully re-taken Mosul. This is a country where decades of war upon war have left close to seven million people at the mercy of humanitarian aid. https://t.co/vZI6e8UkYH

[Vanessa Forrest @vanessajforrest]

To the civilians of Idlib, Syria:

We see you
We stand with you
You are not forgotten
You are #NotATarget

#SYRIA: Hussam was sitting his year end exams when a missile struck his school. He pulled his best friend, dead, from the rubble. His family decided that they could take no more and they fled Syria with the help of people smugglers. This is his story. https://t.co/jNyHXJHIFX

[World Vision Mali @WVMali]

[Vanessa Forrest @vanessajforrest]

#Refugee: someone forced to flee their country due to persecution, war or violence.

This definition is unchanged by perceptions and rhetoric
