End Poverty 2030 (can you spot the Solankys in this vid?)





See if you can spot three Solankys in this video!



A few weeks ago we took Caleb, Joshie, Reuben (and Ezra) to help make this film for a project that I'm working on called End Poverty 2030 and call to gather Christians behind the 17 Sustainable Development Goals over the next 12 years.

It was great fun to see them in front of the camera.

War

Photo journalist Abdulmonam Eassa captures life inside the bombed province of Damascus, Easstern Ghouta. 

I watched as this happened in Aleppo from my armchair. 

I recall the words of broken Mostar bridge saying “don’t forget” from the war there when I visited back in 2001. 

Abdulmonam Eassa says:

“Maybe crying doesn’t help, but today I cry. I can’t say anything else. Please, someone stop the carnage. Please, someone has to stop what is happening here!”
