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

Life is a school!

Ignace B. Wedraogo, a Philosophy teacher and the founder of Primary and secondary schools in Ouagadougou, Burkina Faso sent us this lovely poem.

Life is a school!

We are born young, babies.
We want to live, so we have to go to school.
The child is the father of the man.
A kid needs a good education to be a great man tomorrow.
Educate a girl is educate a Nation, people say.
Primary education is the cement of live.
Free primary education for all children.
Life is a school!
