Happy International Day of Education! This year, the UN is dedicating the day to the women and girls in Afghanistan unable to access education and literature. Thanks to supporters like you, we will continue to provide literature to girls in need worldwide!

Today we celebrate Human Rights Day and the final day of #16DaysOfActivism. Access to education and literacy is a vital part of human rights but is too often denied to many girls and women worldwide. @HoopoeBooks @CW4WAfghan #WomensRights #Afghanistan #literacy

The brave, defiant and fearless women of Afghanistan have taken to the streets of Kabul to protest against the Taliban and chant — ‘Iran has risen, now it is our turn. Death to the dictator whether in Kabul or Tehran.’

We remember. We honour. We listen.

So good to be able to attend a live "Breaking Bread" event with our friends at @CW4WAfghan!
Breaking Bread not only raises needed funds for women in Afghanistan, but also brings together like-minded supporters to make good things happen! #Afghanistan

Today on World Refugee Day, I think of so many Afghan kids forced to flee conflict and persecution in their country.

Let's celebrate their strength, courage and resilience.

Let's bless them and their families.

Let's welcome them to Canada.

Thousands of Afghans eligible for the Special Immigrant Measures program and who applied have received only silence from Canada's leadership. Let @JustinTrudeau @SeanFraserMP @CitImmCanada this isn't right! @CW4WAfghan

Nasrudin - aka Hooja, Mullah Nasrudin, Khoja Nasriddin - is the ‘wise fool’ who appears in thousands of stories, sometimes wise, often as the butt of a joke. Collected by Idries Shah, they can be found in several books. Find them all here: https://t.co/VxlKYaBUmt

The story of The Hunt comes from Idries Shah’s book, The Pleasantries of the Incredible Mulla Nasrudin, part of a series of books with jokes, anecdotes and stories drawn from Sufi tradition.

What’s the point of a wise fool? Author Doris Lessing explained that “[Nasrudin's] antics are parallels of the mind's workings, designed to amuse the teahouses, but also for use on other levels.” Find our collection of Nasrudin stories here: https://t.co/VxlKYaBUmt
