The documentary A small act is about a Harvard Kenya sponsored by a Holocaust survivor. Provides a fabulous look at education in Kenya. A must see for anyone wishing to Join EBB in Kenya.

While I could not find it on Amazon, there are excerpts on You Tube.

Subject: VOY Media Magic List - RESOURCES / PUBLICATIONS: Children's Views Not in the News: Portrayal of Children in South African Print Media 2009

This 34-page report is from Media Monitoring Africa (MMA), which, as part of its Empowering Children and the Media (ECM) strategy, researched selected print media's coverage of children and children's rights in South African news. As part of this study, media coverage of children for the period of May 17 to August 30 2009 was divided into 5 broad questions:

1. Have children's rights been respected, and is the coverage ethical?
2. Are children's voices heard?
3. Are children's issues covered in depth?
4. Are a diversity of children represented - in terms of age, sex, race, and region?
5. How has the media covered children, overall?

As I am sure many of you are aware Greg Mortenson is the founder of Central Asia Institute (CAI). His work is almost entirely in the remote regions of Afghanistan where he and local colleagues are responsible for building numerous schools with a focus on girls' schools, not an easy accomplishment considering his team must often confront the Taliban.

His first book, Three Cups of Tea was a great read. Appropriately titled his second book Stones to Schools continues the saga of CAI's work. His books are very descriptive and easy reads.

His books reach beyond Afghanistan to inspire and delight those interested in international education.
