This story wouldn’t be possible without incredible support of the @TraversFellows. Huge 🙏 to @benjtravers’ family, & our editors @globeandmail. Jim believed Cdn reporters need to bear witness outside our borders to better understand the world & ourselves. I couldn’t agree more

This reporting was made possible by @TraversFellows, a foreign corresponding fellowship established in memory of the late Jim Travers, who believed that it was crucial for Canadian journalists to bare witness to events outside our borders. Thank you 🙏🏽

This project, which will be published by the @globeandmail, would not be possible without the support of the @TraversFellows. The opportunity to get on the ground and see things in person is invaluable!
