@PKaradaghi I just heard someone say that if there is no path to what needs to be done, then make it. Same concept, different words.

The Skoll World Forum is such an amazing place to check in with myself and others. #SkollWF

Are the media thinking??

[Lorna_TVeditor @Lorna_TVeditor]

"I was shocked to see how many reporters think it’s more of a tragedy when white people have to flee their countries. Because I guess 'the darkies’ were built for it?!?"

Trevor Noah rightly condemns the disgusting racism across media coverage of Ukraine.

A woman from Mariupol came to Hungary with 4 kids.

Her own.

Her sister’s kid (mother went to find water and disappeared).

Child of her killed neighbors.

She was running for an evacuation bus and saw a kid, sitting on the street next to his dead parents. She took him too.

Absolutely outstanding!

The words used by the Nazis when Jews were marked for death was "evacuation to the East"

The Russian government spokesman used exactly the same words when referring to Ukrainians and smirked.

@archer_rs The Maya in Belize certainly took them to task on the rights of the indigenous to their land and to their fight with Flora and Fauna International.

If there's always adoption instead of abortion, why are there 121,000+/- children waiting right now to be adopted and more than 27,000+/- age out every year? 🤔🤔

[Ruth McLean Dawson @meRuthAnne]

Absolute truth!

[Jennifer Lentfer @intldogooder]

Saviorism is a disavowal of responsibility for, or even awareness of, the root causes of a problem.

Notice: How does your intervention/your organization rush in, assuming you know "the solution"?

Do less, listen more...applicable to so many situations, desperately needed for Haiti.

[Brian Concannon @HaitiJustice]

Really enjoyed speaking with Arnie Arnesen about how the US can help build stability in Haiti by doing less, listening more. NH News Views and Blues https://t.co/PpSxCRiJh1

@HamillHimself @MarilouHamill @ChelseaHamill What kind of dog is this? Looks just like my three dogs. Happy Birthday!

Take into consideration your potential impact - or lack thereof. Is this a good use of time and money or would a donation make better sense.

[The New Humanitarian @newhumanitarian]

#COVID-19 brought voluntourism to a halt, but as travel opens back up for some, how should would-be voluntourists rethink their next trip?

A5: I have a checklist that seems to continually grow. #grantchat

[Ruth McLean Dawson @meRuthAnne]

What she said!

[Ruth McLean Dawson @meRuthAnne]

And how they communicate! RT @AmandaRipstra: Also, what systems they use to organize themselves #GrantChat

[Gayla Rawlinson Maynard @GaylaRawlinson]

A2.c. Use of fund accounting - separate special revenue accounts for each grant/service line #grantchat

[Ruth McLean Dawson @meRuthAnne]

A2: Grant history, financial situation, accessibility of "attachments", goals and objectives moving forward. #grantchat
