Checkered past
Human challenges date back to the 18th century and the first vaccine, when English physician Edward Jenner attempted to persuade the world that infecting a person with harmless cowpox could prevent disease from its dreaded cousin, smallpox. Jenner scraped “matter” taken from a cowpox sore on a dairymaid’s hand into the skin of 8-year-old James Phipps, the son of his occasional gardener, and then repeatedly tried to infect him with smallpox. “Poor Phipps,” as Jenner later referred to the boy, never came down with smallpox. Jenner reported that some 6000 other people were vaccinated and then the “far greater part of them” were challenged with smallpox. Two centuries later, the vaccine Jenner pioneered eradicated the virus from the human population.

Education is as important as shelter and clean water for child refugees
Education and the hope that it brings must become central to the humanitarian work of all – realising the right of every child to be safe, to learn, and to fulfil their aspirations.

Education is the process of facilitating learning, or the acquisition of knowledge, skills, values, beliefs, and habits. Educational methods include storytelling, discussion, teaching, training, and directed research.
