The Role of Worldreader in achieving SDG 4 – Inclusive, Equitable and Quality Education: The East African Perspective

The Role of Libraries in realising SDG 4 – Inclusive, Equitable and Quality Education: The West African Perspective

By Nkem Osuigwe Libraries exist within the formal and informal sectors of the learning ecosystem. They are very important to learning in schools and in the different communities where they live all over Africa. They are critical for achieving an inclusive, equitable, and quality education where no one is left behind including those who are in employment and cannot attend school full-time and/or are taking online courses. They are also critical for those who have fallen through the cracks of the educational system as school dropouts at various stages of their educational journey or out-of-school children.

It's going to be Christmas in a few weeks, and the pressure, excitement, and anxiety are already in the air. Thanks to the harmattan that just showed up a few days ago, serving as a constant reminder that we're in the season. The excitement is mounting daily, and even my daughter is already counting down. Like so many moms out there, I'm already wondering what to have on the menu this year. Some families will be lodging in hotels, so the burden of cooking is already taken off their shoulders. Others have mentioned they won't be stressing with plenty of cooking

Experiencing God’s Unusual Blessings: the Example of Simeon

Luke 2:25-35 At the time of the birth of Jesus Christ, the promise and expectation of the Messiah's coming into the world had become a matter of traditional belief but not of vital faith and hope among the Jews. There was no comfort in it. If their hearts were stirred up at all, it was because of God's work in the past. They remembered those ten plagues and how Moses delivered them up out of Egypt. They remembered the great King David and all of his exploits on behalf of the nation. They remembered the wisdom of King Solomon and the

The Christmas I Found Out Your Mother Told You To Leave Me

Dear Ex-Boyfriend, I was at the store picking out a new Christmas tree yesterday when I remembered the first and last Christmas I spent with you and your family. I had planned for that holiday more than I had ever planned for any holiday. I wanted everything to be perfect. I guess I hoped to leave a good first impression, especially on your mother.
