For reasons I could write whole threads about, that basically circulate around it being an unfair society, Gypsy, Roma and Traveller children often don't get a fair shot at education.

@GypsyTravellerM, set up a project so kids who want to learn could access volunteer tutors.
I spoke with someone at Traveller Movement about it, they told me there's dozens of kids on the program who have no digital access & some struggle to even get their video calls.

The program is ab enormous success, they've had to expand the number of tutors to keep up with demand from families and children, queuing up for a chance at a fair shot at their future.
I hear participants are reporting fantastic outcomes for many involved.
This is gold.

It's Gypsy, Roma & Traveller History Month all June.
I am about to fill my timeline with fascinating, beautiful and wonderful things for you to learn about GRT people from. Isn't that nice.
It's a bitter irony that while you enjoy those, a digitally excluded GRT kid cannot

I hate asking for help for myself, but I did once, almost in pure sarcasm... And my God, did you ever come through. I could barely believe it.
Now I want to see the same not just for my children, but for all children.
You know what to do Twitter.
