His passion for education and unwavering dedication continue to inspire us all today.

“Who can do such things?”⁠ A question children often ask when learning about the Holocaust.⁠ ⁠ The answer begins with understanding how prejudice grows — and how ordinary acts of kindness can make a difference. Through conversations with students, we explore racism, refugees, resilience, and the importance of listening to each other’s stories.⁠ ⁠ Because when enough of us become witnesses, perhaps we can help ensure it never happens again.⁠ ⁠ #HolocaustMemorial #EducationMatters #NeverForget #StoriesMatter

Every child deserves access to education without the burden of an exhausting journey.⁠ @gtu.official ⁠ In The Gambia’s Central River Region North, some students walk 8–11 km every single day just to reach school. Today, with the support of the Steve Sinnott Foundation and the Gambia Teachers’ Union, 36 bicycles were handed over to help ease that journey and keep more children safely in school.⁠ ⁠ Behind every bicycle is a story of resilience, determination, and hope for a brighter future. This intervention will help improve attendance, reduce physical strain, and give students more time and energy to focus on learning.⁠ ⁠ Because education should never be out of reach. 🚲📚⁠ ⁠ .uk/the-gift-of-cycling-to-school⁠ ⁠ #CycleToSchool #FundEducation #EducationForAll

Unlocking opportunity one bicycle at a time.⁠ ⁠ Long trips to school mean shoes wear out quickly. When teachers discovered one child who was having to walk to school bare foot because his family could not afford any more shoes, they decided to look into what could be done about it. This prompted the initiative to find bicycles to help students to get to school.⁠ ⁠ .uk/the-gift-of-cycling-to-school

Girls miss up to a quarter of their school time, because they do not have the facilities to manage their periods. ⁠ ⁠ Our programme teaches students about menstrual health and how to make their own period pads. These pads are made using locally sourced materials. Which are affordable, sustainable, reusable, washable, long-lasting and eco-friendly.⁠ ⁠ .uk/the-gift-of-positive-periods
