Ah New York in the fall. The air is crisp, the kids are excited to be back in school and I get my own back to school week when the world comes to town for the UN General Assembly. It's sort of a strange phenomenon- the UN GA provides a great opportunity to reflect on global leaders' commitments to a number of development challenges including maternal health- but it also means that many other organizations hold events that compete for heads of state and other notables which makes for a very FULL week seeing everyone working on similar issues.
