Happy teachers’ day, especially to those women in Afghanistan to continue to teach girls, and to the teachers and our own mentors worldwide who are ensuring Afghan women and girls still get an education. It’s amazing what you do.

Rest in peace, Patricia Routledge 🙏🏻 In memory of her, I encourage everyone to read these words of hers from February last year. Whether young or old, you're bound to get something out of it. ***** "I’ll be turning 95 this coming Monday. In my younger years, I was often
