A wonderful two days at the Georgia Children's Book Awards! Omar and I accepted the award in the 4-8 category. It's such an honor to receive an award voted on by kids, and a pleasure to spend time with these creators and organizers. @gcbaconference @refugee_strong

Fathi was born in the camp and lost her father at a very young age. Recently she received a high score on the KCPE and became the first female recipient of a scholarship from Refugee Strong. It is our hope that this will encourage more girls in the camp to pursue their dreams.⭐️

We believe a girl’s education should not be interrupted when they get their period. Thanks to your generous donations, we were able to provide sanitary pads for all high school girls in Dadaab. #Refugees #whenstarsarescattered

Thanks to your generous donations we were able to provide a second distribution of mathematical sets this year! These materials will be so helpful to the candidates sitting for the final exam in the primary and secondary schools.❤️⭐️ #refugeechildren #whenstarsarescattered

2nd school visit of the year, and I run into ANOTHER friend! 🙂 It's always special when the stars align* (*pun intended) and @dantey114 and I can visit a school together. Sporting our @refugee_strong shirts, of course.
