I urge you all to purchase a copy of HALF THE SKY and help stand up "against our era’s most pervasive human rights violation: the oppression of women and girls in the developing world." The key to fighting poverty and preventing the cycle of violence in places like Africa and the Middle East is to educate girls and women. Let's all help in our small way to transform the lives of women and young girls around the globe!

Teaching in Africa was the best decision of my life. I spent 8 glorious months working with the people of Ghana and teaching the beautiful children of Idea & Ideology Nursery School and the Buduburam Refugee Camp in Accra. My entire life revolves around three things: my family, teaching and Africa! My long-term goal is to develop my own NGO that brings education to Former Child Soldiers of war-torn Africa!
