God uses uncertainty in our lives to remodel our hearts. Don't waste your time looking for a way out of the difficulty you're in; look for Him in the midst of it.

Great piece from @HarvardBiz on the changing social impact ecosystem. Agreed that it's no longer about "ticking the box" but investing in long-term change and critical #philanthropy efforts.

That the Myanmar military forced 800,000 Rohingya Muslims to flee to Bangladesh is now widely known. Less appreciated is that some 239,000 people of other ethnic minorities have also been forced to flee Myanmar since 2011, according to the UN. https://t.co/OBYoNkfdsi

@snemeth13 @McCainInstitute Congrats, Scott! Very well deserved!

[Amy Calfas @acalfas]

Devastating news this week but thankful for the work of @IOMBangladesh and so many others fighting to protect #refugee populations globally.

[IOM Bangladesh @IOMBangladesh]

Over 45,000 #Rohingya men, women & children were affected by yesterday's fire in Cox’s Bazar.

IOM and its partners are on the ground assisting those in need.

Little by little, we are rebuilding lives and livelihoods.

The future is better with women at the table. Our new Global #GenderTracker data with @UN_Women and @GirlAtPitt shows that women make up only 24% of the 225 national #COVID19 task forces created to oversee the pandemic response in 137 countries. https://t.co/qqMVPJgqn1
