I was angered to read in the news that the Taliban shot a14-year-old schoolgirl in the head for advocating for girls' education. However, even the World Bank is undermining the rights of young women to receive an education.
In 2012, the World Bank promised to increase grants and loans for global education by $750 million over 5 years, declaring a 5-year baseline for their pledge, a 40% increase. Now they claim a 10-year baseline, or a 9% decrease!
Donor countries pledged an additional $2.5 billion over 3 years to education for all children. However, the World Bank’s fuzzy math nearly wipes that out with their $2.3 billion decrease.
Let’s hold the World Bank accountable for their pledge… for the 61 million children who cannot get a primary school education. -

What we often take for granted others view as the Empowerment Education Can Be. As a Storyteller & Founder of Literacy Outreach Belize, (I sold my home & possessions to create this volunteer project) I work in schools worldwide. I see Children make Sacrifices and Take Risks simply to go to school. EVERY student should see videos like this that illustrate the Power of Education. May we all remember how fortunate any of us are each day we awaken, have food to share, a place to stay, and the ability/freedome to use our minds. Indeed, once you learn something, nobody can take that away from you! -

Such enthusiasm for the opportunity to learn is exciting. I am inspired by these young women. May this school and many more schools continue to educate and ignite the flames of freedom and wisdom and eliminate tyranny and ignorance. Bravo for these determined activists that continue to stand tall for the rights of the oppressed. -

This is one of those miracles that, if allowed and encouraged to flourish many years ago, would surely have prevented the current chaos. But out of the rocks in the wilderness, a flower blooms. -

Thank God for the work of Greg Mortonsen. He started the building of girls schools in northern Pakistan and Afganistan over 15 years ago. He is not political. -
