17 preventable deaths in Parkland

100 unopened texts. I turned to my friend who was reading the conversation, and that’s when I realized something wasn’t right. I slammed my laptop shut and asked what was going on while simultaneously reading through the missed messages. There were texts asking us to send Jaime Guttenberg’s number to anyone we knew in the… Read more →←

Kasai: After months of violence, Bipendu returns to school

End of August 2017. I am visiting the primary school of Malandji in Kananga, capital of Kasai Central Province, Democratic Republic of Congo. There is a lot of activity.

Syrian families struggle to survive in besieged east Ghouta

The scale of destruction and depth of suffering is mind-blowing. It is hard to imagine life in these conditions. These are the thoughts that hit me as we arrived in the so-called ‘buffer zone’ just outside of besieged Al-Nashabiyeh in east Ghouta, rural Damascus. Burnt trees, rubble, and damaged buildings lined the streets as we… Read more →←

The bully in all of us

The tension in our circle was palpable as I asked the question, “Why do you think some of you did better than others in this game?” Nervous eyes looked from one teammate to another.
