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

Ode to School

In the classroom,
Out in the yard,
Having fun,
Having a yawn!
Growing up,
With all your friends,
Drawing, colouring,
The day never ends!
Learning about,
Normandy,
Seeing the world,
In a different way.
Sadly,
When that bell goes,
We gather up our homework,
(Oh no!)
But saying goodbye,
To all your friends,
But still it seems,
Never to end!
