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

The other side of the story

Aisling Lee speaks of her time in primary school and gives a point of view which is rarely heard.
Bullying was prominent in her life and she speaks of how she went through school life coping with it. She also gives her view on Primary School from a victims point of view. This project she says is 'part of my healing process'.


This insight into bulling is valuable for us all. Many adults and teenagers will recall similar episodes in their own primary school lives. This reflection reminds us how bullying is never acceptable.

Your honesty is refreshing brave and reveals great compassion. Thank you Aisling
