The Optimism of Youth

Welcome to our blog. Here we will document the work we are doing on compiling our book "The Optimism of Youth" based on Millennium Development Goal No 2 - Universal Primary Education by 2015. We are being supported in this project by Self Help Africa

Do you have a reflection on your primary school days, a poem to share, perhaps a photograph from those days? Our aim is to highlight the importance of primary education and why MDG No 2 is such a vital goal.

All contributions are welcome and can be sent to towards2015@gmail.com

Paula's work and her reaction

I really wanted to become involved in this project as soon as I heard about it as there is over seventy million children worldwide that do not have access to an education. A primary education is so important as it helps a child to reach their full potential and gives them so many more oppurtunities in life. With so many children deprived of an education this book will help raise awareness on the goal "primary education for all" and will help in this goal being achieved worldwide by 2015.
We are now working on getting submissions of peoples thoughts,reflections, memories on the theme of Primary Education in order to create a thought provoking book. I am really enjoying working on this book and it has made me realise the true importance of primary education which many of us take for granted. I interviewed my mother on her experience and memories of primary school, to contribute to the book. It was intresting to compare the differences between her memories and mine and to learn more about my mothers school life. I am really enjoying working on this book and am finding it a very wothwhile and intresting experience :)
