Sofia, 11, is among the 5.3 million children who had their #education disrupted by the conflict in #Ukraine. Despite the challenges of adjusting to a new school, she's happy to be back in class and safe in #Romania with her family. She hopes to return back to her home someday.

“I think these impacts are triggering a national awakening. I think people are increasingly asking, ‘Why have extreme weather events like this happened? What are the root causes?’” Unstable climate affects the vital production of food across the world. nationalobserver.com/2021/11…

In partnership with @ProcterGamble, we’ve turned 3.2 million plastic sachets and over 870,000 plastic bottles into 1,040 classroom chairs in the Philippines! Students collected sachets found at school, at home and around their community—keeping them from ending up in the ocean.

Growing your own food saves time and money! Vlado and his father are thrilled to be using a new farming machine donated by @WorldVisionBiH to produce their own food. As their family's income is unstable, growing their food helps decrease costs in their household budget.
