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 delightful poem in Irish from Sadhb Nealon. Dublin

Ar Scoil

Sa seomra ranga
‘Dia duit’, a mhúinteoir
Amach le mo leabhair
Chuir mé iad ar an gcuntar

D’fhoghlaim mé Ceol,
Eolaíocht agus Mata,
Ealaín ansin
Tharraing mé fear le hata

Ag an sos
Nach orm a bhí brón
Rinne mé dearmad
Ar mo lón

Cara deas
A thug brioscaí dom
Brioscaí milse
Yum, yum, yum

Amach ar an gclós
Buachaillí ag imirt peile
Mise ag caint
Le mo chara Bella

Ar ais sa rang
Béarla, Tíreolaíocht, Stair
Dán agus scéal
As an leabhar ‘Bun go Barr’

Is bréa liom an scoil
An sport ‘is an spraoi
Ach an t-am is fearr
Abhaile ag a trí!


Sadhbh Nealon
