As world leaders converge in New York this week for #UNGA81 and #ClimateWeekNYC, we will be listening and learning alongside our partners, #SkollAwardees, and other changemakers as they surface evidence-based, proximate solutions to the challenges before us. You can catch our team members at some of these events: - Monday: Our partners @RoomtoRead, @lastmilehealth, and @OneAcreFund will gather for “Education as Infrastructure: How Learning Powers Progress,” hosted by The Sidebar (another valued partner!) to explore why investing in learning is foundational to many of the issues we care about: health, agriculture, and economic development. Join the waitlist to attend: luma.com/auhb7exs - Tuesday: We’ll join our partners @INBreakthrough, @fundaparaguaya, @VisionSpring, @BlueVentures, and @videoconsortium at The Impact Lounge to celebrate the impact of the years-long partnership known as “Solutions Inside Out.” Attendees will screen four films from the Solutions Storytelling Project, a Skoll-supported initiative led by Video Consortium that connects regional filmmakers with social innovators to produce short, solutions-focused documentaries that catalyze positive change. Register to attend: events.humanitix.com/impact-… - Tuesday: Our partner @TenureFacility will be at Reciprocity House, bringing together Indigenous Peoples, local community organizations, funders, and others working on land rights and security. View the program and RSVP: luma.com/user/usr-XGsb9OQNPL… We’re grateful for the chance to come together with so many social entrepreneurs and innovators to deepen community relationships and drive progress and collaboration across sectors.

Every reader remembers a book that changed something. The first story that sparked curiosity. The first character who felt like a friend. The first book that made the world feel bigger. Today, millions of children are still waiting for that experience. I’m supporting @RoomtoRead’s #MakeRoomtoRead campaign to help put books into children’s hands and create opportunities that can last a lifetime. If you’re able, please join me by making a gift. Just $1 can put a brand-new book in the hands of a child waiting to turn their first page. Together, we can make room for more first pages, first stories and first dreams. ➡ roomtoread.org/make-room

The last day of the South Asia Regional Convening on #FoundationalLearning focused on turning evidence into action. Panel discussions featured insights from @RoomtoRead, @save_children, @OxfordMeasurEd, The @GateInstitute, and government & civil society representatives on using assessment data to strengthen teaching, advocacy, policy, and build an enabling environment for learning at scale. The convening also highlighted #ICANICAR as a regional public good, supporting evidence-informed decision-making across South Asia. #PALNetwork #SouthAsia #CitizenLedAssessment #EducationPolicy #SDG4

By any prediction, I wasn't supposed to be here. This week, I shared my story and @RoomtoRead with 4,000+ members of the @MDRtweet community. As the daughter of a proud MDRT member, it was a meaningful full-circle moment. When a child learns to read, possibility multiplies across lifetimes, families, and economies. #MDRT #RoomToRead

NYC… can't wait to see you next month.  I’ll be taking the stage at @RoomtoRead’s New York Gala to support a mission that matters — helping kids around the world get access to education and the opportunity it unlocks.  Music brings people together… and when it’s for a great cause, it’s even better.  Let’s make it a night to remember.
