Customer Reviews
Tears Hope and the Power of Education
Emotionally rivetting insight and details into the challenges faced by children, particularly girls in dangerous crisis zones. I cried and at t he same time felt a surge of HOPE that with power of investing in education the wants and dreams of girls can be a reality. Thanks for this amazing podcast and I look forward to the next one.
Heart wrenching, yet heart warming.
Bringing a perspective of how desperate lives can be provided with hope by strategies that seem so "easy". The voices of real children and women telling their stories...
Tremendous
So glad UNICEF has gotten into the podcast game. They do so much amazing work and have so many important stories to tell. This is a great start.
