Something cheerful for those Christmas stockings…huge thanks to Artie Trezise who will perform in March with all proceeds going to @McC_IF girls scholarships. Get your tickets before they sell out 😉 fb.me/e/5mEmoSRrV

“Most people who are victims of this probably don’t know what’s being shared.”
@LordMcConnell condemns the “disgusting” use of AI by predators to ‘nudify’ images of children.

A year ago, the Ukrainian armed forces liberated #Kherson from the russian occupiers. Teams who rebuild infrastructure – roads and railways in the first place – came to the city immediately after the military. The first passenger train arrived to the city 10 days later. We continue to fight for the liberation of each inch of Ukrainian land. We urge worldwide community to not stop their efforts of supporting 🇺🇦

Discussing the importance of education recovery after all the #covid lockdowns with other @GPforEducation Champions. Urgent action required and sustainable development of education vital.

One of the biggest regrets that my grandmother had was that 100 years ago - she wasn’t deemed important enough to have a secondary education. None of us were allowed to waste ours. It saddens me that we still have to fight for girls to be educated.
You can change a girl's life for good. We support 100 girls in #Malawi to complete their secondary education. We have just joined with @keepachildalive to support 200. Only £120 a year pays all a girl's fees, mentoring and project cost. Support us here.

Done…very worthwhile especially after the disastrous hurricane Charlie floods and cholera education of girls even more vital.

Today I met Colicious (r) again - the young mum who is able to go back to school thanks to a @McC_IF scholarship. This time I was at her family home where I also met her mum Yasinta (l) and her 3 year old son Collings #Women #sisterhood

Mary (r) gets a scholarship from @McC_IF which will help her complete her secondary education. It also lifts a burden from her widowed mum Agnes (l) who has 4 other children and earns a basic living from growing maize and millet. The whole family benefits. #Women #Sisterhood
