We enjoyed our last summer writing session for evocative pieces. We discussed how much growth we have made in our writing skills as teacher writers. @ms_satuminna @gpankiewicz @Acevedo493 #DrewTEACH @teachKHT @writingproject

"Afghan women won't be silenced," teacher and human rights activist Pashtana Durrani says https://t.co/WqXXmtetHv

[Malala Yousafzai @Malala]

We watch in complete shock as Taliban takes control of Afghanistan. I am deeply worried about women, minorities and human rights advocates. Global, regional and local powers must call for an immediate ceasefire, provide urgent humanitarian aid and protect refugees and civilians.

@ProfJPizzo Likewise, thank you Prof. Pizzo!
