International Education Weekly No. 16
I’m in New Orleans working on designing an education initiative that will transform lives in Liberia with More Than Me. I got here last night and have been pushing through many hours-long sessions of ideation. It’s exhausting and delayed my IEW this week. No excuses though. Future IEWs will arrive on Tuesday. Feedback: Mornings are better. Have friends that might want this update? Send them here.
