After extending the deadline and delaying results due to COVID-19, we are finally announcing our Make the Case for Caring Essay Contest winners! We always love to read what young people are thinking about international issues, and this year was no exception.
Resources for Learning While Staying Home
Like you, I am adjusting to our new reality here at Mali Rising’s U.S. office (read: my house). Because we want to contribute in our own small way, we are working on a web page with fun learning resources for both adults and children wanting to use our time at home to learn and grow. It will take a few days to get that resource list up and running, so we thought we would share some initial stay-at-home resources here to keep you going

Hey high school students — looking forward to your winter break? Sleeping in, catching up on your favorite series, maybe a little bit of time with friends? Let’s make it just a little more fruitful — work on your essay for our Make the Case for Caring Essay Contest.
The 2019 contest opens for entries on January 1, 2019!

National winners of this essay contest receive cash awards and recognition.
So get thinking on the 2019 Make the Case for Caring Essay Contest theme:
In 1948, the UN General Assembly included education as a basic human right in the Universal Declaration of Human Rights. Do you think education is a human right? Why or why not? What does your position mean for education in a country like Mali?
