Reflections: Education & Emancipation Denied…

Reflections: Education & Emancipation Denied….

Many children take for granted the education they receive here.  But around the world, many would give anything to be able to go to school.

Elizabeth of Mirth and Motivation provides soul-searching video clips that I had to share.  Being so involved in the care and education of young children, I was very moved by them…I think you will be as well.
