Well, I think for us as, um, is, is really as Tom said about improving numeracy and literacy, um, at early grades.

We know the impact of having a high quality, um, early grades education, what, what that does in terms of longer term economic development and in terms of, you know, improved, um, health, for example, acro- across a society, and improved life chances in particular.

And we've already in a, in a couple of years really had great results, great impact through our work.

We've seen measurable quantifiable improvements in numeracy and literacy, which is, which is something we're incredibly proud of.

But when I took Asas on in 20-- the summer of 2023, for me, it, it was more than just the opportunity to do work which is hopefully gonna transform the lives of, of millions of young people in Jordan.
