I’m starting a new nonprofit called earbuds.org. Our main activity is to spread wireless earbuds around the world. I’ve been making these donations for awhile now but I recently upped my game by donating two separately within a day of purchase. Who’s in?
Alas, it wouldn’t be me because I only started attending CRS’ ICT4D conference in later years, but if you include the #MERLtech and #ICTforAg conferences we started at FHI 360, then I’m getting up there.
@SteveHellen, @NoraLindstroem, @GiulioWolfe, @MattHaikin, @amy_odonnell, @jzoltner, @carolynflorey, @shaunferris, ... feel free to nominate others. Curious to see who holds the record of most ICT4D Conferences attended.

Children and families are currently facing the aftermath of the explosion in #Beirut.
As stories emerge of kids being injured and separated from their parents, we’re urging their well-being and reunification with relatives be a key part of the response: ow.ly/H8c550ARJ4Q
OMG, you remember that too? I once flew to Belgrade and Athens on a plane where smoking was allowed on the left side but not the right.

We all need to do whatever is possible to help the children of Syria. Take a look at this satellite imagery we gathered with @HHI and @WorldVision
New satellite imagery and analysis from
@HHI, @WorldVision and Save the Children show the scale of destruction and displacement in #Idlib.
Syrian children are experiencing unbearable suffering. We've partnered with @GlobalResponse to help.

900,000 people—mostly women and children—have been forced to flee horrific violence in Idlib, Syria and are now facing sub-zero temperatures in displacement camps. Kids are dying from the cold. This relentless violence must end. (via @cjf39 & @MadarangMel) ow.ly/By3d50yrXkg

Our #StopTheWarOnChildren report should be required reading for anyone who cares about children around the world.
New @SavetheChildren report shows that today's wars are becoming more dangerous for children. They're being killed, maimed, recruited by armed groups and sexually abused. The world is standing by while kids are targeted with impunity. #STOPTHEWARONCHILDREN ow.ly/FrPl50ykvAL

Female genital mutilation continues to rob young girls of their childhood. Yet, girls like Saada are fighting for their rights, educating adults and campaigning to #EndFGM.
Truly an inspirational story and a great reminder of children's power to bring about positive change.
"I have never felt afraid. Never in my life."
Saada was just seven years old when she stopped her friend from being cut. Now she's using her voice and standing up to adults—educating them about the dangers of female genital mutilation.
This is her inspiring story. #EndFGM
