The learning crisis is real. But it can be solved. On #EducationDay I'm grateful I get to work w/ @youthimpactorg + partners to deliver meaningful change every day. There is nothing quite like the rush of new data every school term showing students learned.🇧🇼 government results👇

Back in Botswana 🇧🇼 and so happy. Thank you @AirBotswana for a smooth ride and I was *amazed* by the covid-19 protocols put in place by @BWGovernment . Everyone had to take a rapid test (free of charge) on arrival, in addition to proof of PCR test from place of origin.
