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

Pretty Poems

Mairead A Burke is a twelve year old girl who attends Presentation Girls Primary School in Maynooth, she is in 6th class and her favourite subject is English.
Mairead began writing poetry a year ago.
She sent us in some beautiful poems one of which is titled "Education". In this poem she ponders the question "What is school to me?".
Another young girl who have submitted us poetry is 10 3/4 year old Chloe Walsh. In her poem titled "School" she tells us that school is fun and how much she loves it.
Thank you so much Mairead and Chloe for your contributions. It is great to have primary students involved in this inspiring project.
