This event, hosted by Amanda Martin MP, is to celebrate 15 Years of The Steve Sinnott Foundation, supporting access to Education for All. The Steve Sinnott Foundation works with teachers and educators to deliver projects that progress the achievement of Sustainable Development Goal 4 - to ensure inclusive and equitable quality education while promoting lifelong learning opportunities for all. We are proud to have worked towards making this goal a reality and continue to do so in honouring Steve Sinnott’s legacy. 

Here are some highlights from the speakers on the day!

"On behalf of Education International we wish to bring solidarity, greetings, appreciation and congratulations to the Steve Sinnott Foundation as it approaches this important milestone. I personally remember Steve from our time connecting US and English teachers around fundamental rights, specifically the Magna Carta and the Civil Rights movement. He was and remains an inspiration and beacon in the global teacher union movement. And as we look around us at this moment in time we know he was right, "there are those who are hopeful supporters and activists for justice, human rights and equality; and there is the rest." Education International is proud to be a partner with the Steve Sinnott Foundation and thanks you all for the work you do towards achieving our collective aims. Congratulations to Ann and the team. And lastly, the hugest of hugs to Mary who continues to inspire us all by directing all the energy and promise of Steve's legacy in such important ways for the world's students and teachers. Thank you" - DAVID EDWARDS, PH.D GENERAL SECRETARY OF EDUCATION INTERNATIONAL

"Today is a combination of a celebration & a thank you to all that have been involved. A small but very successful Foundation, something tangible, something beneficial something long lived.

"Through our 2021 partnership with The Steve Sinnott Foundation, the Cima Community School now has a Learning Resource Centre with a library and a computer lab. The lab does not benefit our students alone as it is accessible to other students throughout Haiti. These students can connect at weekends and link together to learn English - all because of you! We have also been able to distribute the Positive Periods project to reach more than 15,000 girls and women."  - GABRIELLE AUREL - HAITI
