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

Poem 'Outsider' Written By Hannah Walsh Aoife O Brien Susan Mc Cormack

These ladies wrote a very interesting poem contrasting children who go to primary school with children who don't. It highlights the view of a child who does not appreciate the priviledge of primary education. The girls stood in the shoes of children marginalised and outside the loop of school at a young age.
