Amidst chaos, G7 Summit unleashed a quiet, yet powerful force

In Charlevoix, Que., and at the development and finance ministers meeting in Whistler, B.C., Canada achieved critical political commitments to stop schools from being the first to close and the last to reopen when crises hit.

Plan supported the reconstruction of Marrumuana primary school in Inhambane, Mozambique, which now has four furnished classrooms, two children's latrines, one teacher's latrine and a clean water supply. The school was built with the support of the community, which contributed with their labour and helped source local building materials. Photograph courtesy of Plan International Canada
