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

A prayer from Adi Roche

We have just been sent an Old Irish Prayer that Adi Roche, CEO & Founder of Chernobyl Children’s Project International, likes very much. She feels it spells up a general attitude to life in terms of respect, education, what it is to work, to love, to dream and to laugh. She hopes it will be seen as a universal prayer for children and also adults everywhere.

Adi also sent a beautiful and colourful drawing done by Kristina in Vesnova Children’s Mental Asylum in Belarus. Kristina is an amazing little girl and lived in Ireland last year to undergo very serious medical surgery. She is now 10 years old and lives with a new foster family in Chernobyl Children’s Project International ‘Homes of Hope’ Programme.
