"World Pulses Day?" I hear you ask! Pulses are a great and sustainable way to achieve #ZeroHunger, and also a great staple for a modern diet! As we increase our plant based sources of nutrition to combat #ClimateChange, why not pick up some pulses with your next shop!

Today grade 6 did the #1tweet challenge. @ZachRBrain asked his students, "If you had one Tweet that the entire world could read, what would you say?" This thread shows those tweets! With your retweets, I wonder how many people can see the words of these students?

It's time to say farewell to 2020. Whatever this year has brought for you, hold onto the good memories, and say goodbye to the bad ones. Let's see what 2021 has to bring! (I don't know about you, but my fingers are crossed for a good one!)

In whatever way you are able to celebrate this year, we wish you all a Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays. Thank you for your continuing support of our Development Education Organisation.
