The world's worst humanitarian crisis is being ignored, with over 8 million people displaced, 500,000 children dead from hunger. Cholera and war crimes spreading in silence.

This is not just a Sudanese issue — it is a test of our shared humanity. 🇸🇩

I'm looking for KS3 History teachers in London schools to be part of an exciting pilot in Sep or Nov. We, Mapping Black London, have worked with educators & policy-makers to create a 6-week scheme of work on early Black Londoners & digital mapping. Pls share/Msg if interested 😊
