On her first day as ECW Director, Maysa Jalbout visits Lebanon to reaffirm ECW’s commitment to the country’s children, announce new emergency funding and mobilise urgent international support.

BEIRUT, April 2, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Education Cannot Wait (ECW) today reaffirmed their strong partnership with Lebanon’s Ministry of Education and Higher Education (MEHE) to protect the right to education for children impacted by the rapidly escalating crisis in Lebanon.

©UNICEF2026/Fouad-Choufany | ECW Director Maysa Jalbout, visits a shelter in Beirut, where UNICEF, the Ministry of Education and Higher Education and strategic partners support children with integrated services, including psychosocial support, recreational activities, and early childhood development, helping restore well-being and a sense of normalcy. The shelter, hosted in a public school, supports displaced children, with partners delivering activities that strengthen protection and resilience.

During her first official mission as Director of ECW, Maysa Jalbout met with H.E. Minister Rima Karami, alongside the Inter-Agency Support Group (IASG) Education Sector co-leads UNICEF and Save the Children and civil society partners, to assess urgent needs and coordinate a swift, collective response to the crisis.

Lebanon is facing a severe humanitarian situation, with over one million people displaced and more than 250,000 children across the public school system experiencing disruption to their education. This latest escalation compounds years of overlapping crises including– economic collapse, the Beirut port explosion and the current escalation of regional conflict.

As part of this joint effort, ECW is launching an immediate emergency response that will focus on the areas most affected by the escalation of hostilities, ensuring safe access to learning, psychosocial support and protection services for the most vulnerable children.

In parallel, ECW will initiate the development of a new multi-year investment, expected to begin within the next six months, aimed at strengthening the resilience of Lebanon’s education system and supporting sustainable learning outcomes.

Together, these investments are expected to reach more than 150,000 crisis-affected children and adolescents, prioritising those most at risk of exclusion.

“Education Cannot Wait – the global fund for education in crises – stands with the children of Lebanon. Education during crises is essential to children’s mental health, protection and future. With our partners, we will do everything we can to help 150,000 children resume their learning,” said Maysa Jalbout, Director of ECW. “The needs are far greater than any single actor can meet. While many donors continue providing multi-year support for children’s access to quality and inclusive education in Lebanon, the gaps remain significant and require urgent additional support to reach all children.”

H.E. Minister Rima Karami underscored the urgency of the moment and the need for a new way of working.

“Lebanon has carried the weight of successive crises for over many decades and today we are once again called to protect our children and our future. This crisis is not only creating new needs – it is threatening the very stability that the Lebanese people have sacrificed so much to maintain. We must act collectively, and we must act differently. Our partnership with Education Cannot Wait reflects this commitment, and we call on the international community to stand with us in scaling this effort,” said the Minister of Education and Higher Education.

The new ECW-supported response will be guided by the following key priorities:

• Localisation and national ownership, with a strong commitment to channelling significant resources through local actors and partners.
• Equity and inclusion, ensuring equitable access to education for all children, with a particular focus on girls, children with disabilities and those most marginalised.
• Learning continuity and quality, supporting both immediate access and improved learning outcomes over time.
• Well-being and protection, integrating mental health and psychosocial support into education responses.
• Flexibility and adaptability, enabling rapid adjustment to evolving needs on the ground.

The initiative also presents a critical opportunity for additional partners to step forward. ECW and MEHE are calling on donor governments, philanthropic organisations, and the private sector to match and scale this effort, ensuring that the response meets the full scope of needs.

Notes to Editors

• ECW’s investments to date in Lebanon total US$25.8 million, reaching 826,000 crisis-affected children and adolescents with access to safe, inclusive and quality education – including those displaced by the escalating regional conflict.

NEW YORK, April 2, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — With skin longevity, barrier-first skincare, and “low-effort, high-impact routines” trending across TikTok and search in 2026, one question continues to surface: What is the simplest way to improve skin texture, hydration, and glow – without adding more steps?

COSRX, the globally recognized K-beauty brand known for its results-driven formulations, answers that question with the U.S. launch of its newly upgraded One Step Pad collection on Amazon – alongside the expansion of its viral PDRN line with the 5 PDRN Collagen Vitalizing Hydrogel Eye Patch, now also available on Amazon.

A Korean Skincare Staple: Toner Pads

Toner Pads have long been a staple in Korean skincare and COSRX’s One Step Pads are widely regarded as one of the originals that helped shape the category as consumers know it today. Familiar, trusted, and deeply embedded in everyday routines, they’ve become a go-to essential in Korea for effortless skin prep.

Now, they’re back bigger and better than ever. Designed as a multi-functional, time-saving step, each pad delivers targeted care in seconds. Use as a quick 3-minute mask or a gentle post-cleanse swipe to refine texture, rebalance the skin, and enhance absorption for the steps that follow.

MIDDLETOWN, Del., April 2, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Makera, a leader in desktop CNC solutions, is redefining how professional camera equipment comes to life—by putting precision manufacturing directly into creators’ studios.

In the world of professional filmmaking, creating new equipment has traditionally required more than just an idea. It demanded access to factories, CNC workshops, and complex supply chains—resources that have long been out of reach for independent creators.

Yu Kano, a Japan-based filmmaker, is changing that. Using the Carvera Air — a desktop CNC machine — he now designs, prototypes, and produces professional camera gear entirely from his own studio.

The Challenge: Slow, Costly, and Constrained by Outsourcing

Before integrating CNC capabilities into his workflow, Kano relied heavily on external manufacturers. His process followed a familiar pattern: design in CAD, send files out, then wait—often for weeks.

“Design finalization, ordering, machining, assembly, and testing all had to be handled externally,” he says. “That led to long turnaround times and high costs due to minimum order quantities and repeated revisions.”

While FDM 3D printing helped validate shapes, it fell short where it mattered most—precision, strength, and real-world machinability. Designs that looked promising on screen often failed when produced in metal, triggering another cycle of outsourcing, delays, and added costs.

In an industry where production timelines are tight and flexibility is critical, this wasn’t just inefficient—it was limiting innovation.

The Turning Point: Bringing Carvera Air CNC Into the Studio

Everything changed when Kano introduced the Makera Carvera Air into his workflow.

Instead of replacing existing tools, he built a new hybrid process:

• 3D printing for complex or large geometries
• CNC machining for high-precision, functional components

This combination unlocked both speed and accuracy.

“The freedom of additive manufacturing combined with the precision of CNC machining works extremely well,” Kano says. “It dramatically accelerated design, prototyping, and verification.”

For the first time, he could produce high-precision aluminum parts on demand—within hours, not weeks—and evaluate real-world performance immediately.

The Result: Faster Iteration, Better Products

With Carvera Air, Kano gained full control over his development process.

What once required multiple external steps can now be completed entirely in his studio:

• Rapid prototyping
• Functional testing
• Immediate design iteration

This shift not only reduced costs but also enabled faster, more confident decision-making.

“Prototype, adjust, refine, repeat—that cycle is now incredibly fast,” he explains.

Today, Kano is developing a series of professional camera accessories under his “Run & Gun” project—designed specifically for fast-paced production environments where existing solutions often fall short.

Built for the Real World: Compact, Clean, and Office-Ready

Carvera Air has now become Kano’s most trusted assistant.

Compact enough to sit on a desk and fully enclosed to contain dust and debris, the machine fits seamlessly into an office environment—something traditional CNC systems cannot offer. This allows Kano to prototype and machine parts without the need for a dedicated workshop or external facilities, keeping the entire development process in-house.

He also operates the machine without cutting fluid, maintaining a clean and safe workspace. Despite its compact size and 200W spindle, the Carvera Air delivers stable aluminum machining, thanks to an optimized system where performance comes from more than just power.

“Real performance isn’t just about power,” he notes. “It’s about the balance between rigidity, control, tooling, and system optimization.”

Beyond Prototyping: From Ideas to Production

What began as a prototyping tool has evolved into a production asset.

Kano now uses Carvera Air for:

• Small-batch manufacturing
• Single- and double-sided PCBs
• Laser processing

This level of versatility allows him to move from concept to production without leaving his studio.

A Bigger Shift: Redefining Who Can Build Hardware

Kano’s story reflects a broader transformation in the industry.

With the rise of desktop CNC machines, accessible software, and direct-to-market channels, the ability to create professional-grade hardware is no longer limited to companies with factories.

Independent creators can now:

• Build and test products faster
• Produce in small batches
• Iterate based on real user feedback

“I aim to build a camera-rig brand based on real on-set needs—things only working professionals truly understand,” Kano says.

Looking Ahead

For Yu Kano, the journey is just beginning. But one thing is already clear:

The gap between idea and product is no longer a wall—it’s a workflow.

And with tools like Carvera Air, that workflow now fits on a desktop.
