BONUS: Help Ukraine By Sharing A Tweet For Article 26 Backpack
Feeling helpless over the situation in Ukraine?
Share a tweet or this podcast link and potentially change a life.
In this bonus episode of the Dying to Ask podcast, learn about a program that is helping ensure Ukrainian refugees' important documents are safe.
Article 26 Backpack is named after Article 26, the Universal Declaration of Human Right to education. But, people forced to flee countries often have to leave without documents like diplomas and other professional certifications.
That can make continuing a college education or pursuing your career path difficult.
Article 26 Backpack allows users to create a safe place in the cloud to store documents free of charge. The program is run by UC Davis professor Keith Watenpaugh and requires just a cellphone and email.
"Americans, we always think our documents will never be lost always be stored and we know that's not the case even for us," said Watenpaugh.
More than 2,000 people, including many Ukrainians, are using Backpack.
But, as the situation in Ukraine becomes direr, the push is on to make sure even more Ukrainian students and professionals get access.
That's where you come in.
Share a tweet from Article 26 Backpack or this podcast and spread the word.
It's an easy ask that could literally change the trajectory of a life.
