Remembering with sadness, the 1000s of innocent men, women and children who were massacred by the banks of Nandikadal Lagoon at the end of the war in SriLka. #Mullivaikkal #TamilDayofRemembrance Here is a poem by Tamil poet Nillanthan marking the event. Translated by me.

🙏🏾 to all the teachers that are making a difference in the lives of our students through your care and dedication. “Teachers are the backbone of any country- a pillar upon which all aspirations of the country are built to become realities.” Dr. Abdul Kalam #nationalteachersday

Indigenous children make up 7.7% of our child population but account for over 52% of all children in foster care. Please read that again! This is NOT something only in our past, it’s alive and thriving in Canada today. It just looks different. #millennialscoop
