CONGRATULATIONS TO THE 2019 HER ABILITIES AWARD WINNERS!
“Her Abilities was launched by Light for the World to honor women with disabilities who achieved greatness in their life or field of work.”
The winners are chosen in three categories, Health and Education; Arts, Culture and Sports; and Rights.
Education is a fundamental basic human right. No child, youth or adult should ever be deprived of their human right to access free quality education. While this rings true, and many policies around the world support this notion, millions of children remain deprived of their right to education. Vulnerable, marginalized communities and those negatively impacted by conflicts are the least likely to attend or complete their full 12 years of schooling.
The READ Act has now been signed into law. This is a huge step forward to ensure quality education for all.
Please thank your Members of Congress for passing the READ Act!
Washington, D.C.---In an effort to continue to raise the profile of the need of comprehensive national and international plans to facilitate and foster Education for All, the Global Campaign for Education-US Chapter with coalition member, The Nobelity Project, is sponsoring a screening of the film "Building Hope" at the Tribeca Cinemas, 54 Varick Street, NYC on February 5, 2013.
