“We shall do everything within our means to stand... with and lobby for his children. King Oyo has left them at such a tender age, and he himself was still young. We were fortunate to have people who cared for us and guided us when we were young. My heart goes out to his children. We shall not abandon them; we must protect, support and help them carry forward their father’s legacy,” says Prince Bagaya Elizabeth, speaking about the children of the late King Oyo.show more

It was an honour to stand at the Tomb... of the Unknown Soldier, and to witness the Last Post at the Australian War Memorial in Canberra. From Europe, we remember with gratitude the sacrifice and courage of the many Australians who stood beside us in the long and fragile pursuit of peace and freedom. “They shall grow not old, as we that are left grow old: Age shall not weary them, nor the years condemn. At the going down of the sun and in the morning. We will remember them.”show more

Hills I will die on as an elementary school... teacher, who just wrapped up my 32nd year teaching! 1. If you are not PASSIONATE about blessing, serving, and empowering those you are blessed to teach, this profession is not for you. 2. Our students are not “ours”. They are their families, and we need to understand the magnitude of the calling, and responsibility we have to meet them where they are, and to help them to get to a place that they never thought possible. 3. As important as the curriculum is (and it IS important), the children in our classroom are what matter most. It’s our JOB to teach the curriculum to SERVE our students, NOT to use our students to push any sort of agenda. 4. Just as we teach our students to “leave things better than they found them”, we need to leave our students better than they were when they first entered into our classroom. Never let a day pass without pouring into each and every child. 5. We should not teach our children WHAT to think, but HOW to think, and how to use that knowledge to bless and serve not only themselves, but the world around them. 6. Our words carry little (or NO value), if we do not practice what we preach. 7. If we don’t make learning fun, children will view learning as a chore, and we we will be creating a generation of children who grow up to be young adults who don’t see the joy in learning new things. 8. The child that may be “difficult to reach/teach” (the one who may get on your last nerve more than you could ever imagine), is someone’s EVERYTHING. Get to know them as human beings, find out what motivates them, and do everything you can to help them to thrive. 9. Never tell a child they “can’t” do something. God has blessed each of them with far more strengths and talents than we may know, and it’s not our job to tell them what they can’t do, but to help them to realize all the things they CAN do. 10. The legacy you leave as a teacher will never be determined by your student’s test scores, but by the human beings you helped them become throughout their lives.show more

These are the children who last saw their mother... covered in blood and watched their father being buried. Does our heart not ache for them? At the very least, we can write about them and even repost their story.show more

Please do not raise your kids like this. Children... are a reflection of what we teach them at home. The values we instill shape the society of tomorrow. If we keep pushing them into political hatred and street fights at such a young age, what kind of future are we building? give your children good values and sanskaars. These 12-12 year old kids are out on the streets, participating in violent protests, throwing stones, shouting abuses, and getting consumed by hatred.show more

Hello Abuja, Today, as we gather to commemorate International... Youth Day—a day that acknowledges the crucial role young people play in shaping our world's future—I am honored to stand in solidarity with the youth of our nation, particularly those in the FCT, and from around the world. I also wish to reaffirm our dedication to empowering them for a sustainable future. We stand at a critical juncture in human history, where the decisions we make today will shape the future of our planet. Climate change, inequality, and social injustice threaten our very existence. Yet, I stand before you with hope, inspired by the passion, creativity, and determination of our young people. Youth empowerment is not only a moral imperative but also an economic and social necessity. Investing in our youth means investing in our future. We must provide them with access to quality education, skills training, and opportunities for participation in decision-making processes. As leaders, we must create an enabling environment that fosters innovation, entrepreneurship, and creativity. We must listen to their voices, value their perspectives, and support their initiatives. We must also address the systemic barriers that prevent many young people from reaching their full potential. To the young people of the FCT, I say this: we hear you, we see you, and we believe in you. We will work tirelessly to ensure you have the resources, support, and opportunities you need to thrive. Let us join forces to build a world that is just, equitable, and sustainable for all—a world where young people can grow, flourish, and lead. Happy International Youth Day! -Iretikingibeshow more

🚨Look at our suffering… look as well, and watch... the video. We are living through a heartbreaking tragedy. Heavy rains have flooded our tents, and the freezing cold is consuming the bodies of our children, women, and men. We are doing everything we can to dig water channels to stop the floods from entering our tents, but our efforts are not enough, and this winter is harsher than ever. We urgently need £800 to purchase plastic coverings and repair the damaged tents so we can protect our families from drowning and the bitter cold. We are not asking for comfort… we are only asking for the chance to survive. 🙏PLEASE DONATE🔗( PAYPAL🔗( Help us before we lose more lives. Help us protect our children from the cold and the water that invades our tents every day. Will 🦥 Menaker ★ barbarism critic Eyup Lovely Any hand that reaches out to us may save a life.show more

🫂Chef Khaled made his delicious yellow rice for the... camp today, my friends, and people were very happy when they received their meals because it's a favorite for many. I wanted to tell you we are working daily to distribute food and water for the camp, and we do this even when I do not mention it in my updates. These poor people rely on us to help them survive, and we wish we could do more for them in these cruel and miserable times. It is awful to see the horrific pictures of people living in tents who have nothing to save them from a bomb or a fire. My heart breaks for the animals too, my friends, because they are also helpless and they are suffering terribly in these conditions. I want to help them, my friends, and I can do this only with your generosity and help. If you could, will you please consider donating and sharing my message? You are our only hope in these desperate times and we are so grateful for your help 🙏 🫂🚨🆘️ 🙏💚🌱 🐾🐈🙏 🐾🆘️ 🕊show more

We have to campaign for what the environment and... people need, not what our government and the polluters have said they might let us have - if we play nicely and let them keep milking our bills. Channel 4's #DirtyBusiness has put us in front of the goal. Let's not waste that. We don't need 'campaign victories', we need an end to the privatisation scam.

One of my favorite quotes about fatherhood comes from... Elon himself: “My children didn’t choose to be born, I chose to have children. They owe me nothing, I owe them everything” It's normal to have goals and dreams for our kids. But I try to remind myself, that what really matters are their goals and dreams for themselves Of course I have expectations for them. We have standards for behavior and performance. But if my expectations get too heavy, they'll only weigh them down. And my job is always to simply lift them upshow more

Today, I hosted the first meeting of a special... panel on child safety online. For decades, we have made the real world safer for children and we must do the same in the digital world. The positive opportunities that technology offers cannot come at the cost of their safety, health or happiness. In Europe, tech platforms already have a responsibility to ensure the safety of users. But we must also do more to protect and empower our young people online. This is the aim of the special panel. We will work intensely with experts and stakeholders, including our youth, to forge a strong and realistic European approach to keep our children safe in the digital age. By the summer, the special panel will publish its recommendations for further action.show more
