This week’s photo of the week comes from a teacher in Bangladesh who wrote to us about their assistance with preparing a school curriculum.
Dear Friend,
Thanks to your support of ActionAid and The Next Step in Bangladesh, I am now able to give pre-school children a quality education.
My name is Sagarika Saha. I teach pre-school children [...]]]></description>

The devastating floods in Pakistan have killed less people than that of the Haiti earthquake or the 2004 tsunami. But it does and will continue to impact twenty million people that are trying to flee the area – larger than Italy (check out the comparison against Australia) – still underwater.
The reaction to the unprecedented scale [...]]]></description>

The disaster in Pakistan is unprecedented and over 14 million people are struggling to survive as a result of the floods. I thought I would share a brief report from ActionAid&#8217;s Communciations Manager in Pakistan, Javeria Malik, on her recent visit to to Punjab Province to give a sense of the devastation facing the people [...]]]></description>

I am deeply concerned about the situation in Pakistan at the moment. Widespread flooding due to unusually heavy monsoon rains across Pakistan has so far claimed the lives of up to 1,600 people, with over 1,000 injured, according to the Government of Pakistan and the UN.

These same sources estimate that almost 14 million people have been [...]]]></description>

The idea of celebrities campaigning for various causes is quite a familiar sight these days. It’s not uncommon to see film and pop stars such as Angelina Jolie, Bono and even Lindsay Lohan participating (at very different levels) in numerous causes, and some have even become political leaders. Celebrities certainly bring a new level of [...]]]></description>

Over the past few days, Pakistan has been affected by some of its worst floods in eighty years. Over a thousand people have died and more than two million people have been affected by these floods.
Tens of thousands of people have been forced to shelter on rooftops, trees and electricity poles.
An estimated 70 percent of [...]]]></description>

When it comes to determination, the residents of a small village in Siem Reap, Cambodia have a thing or two to teach the rest of us.
Snar Sangream is one of the poorest villages in the region and home to just over 1,000 people – half of whom are under the age of 18.
