At the Our Kids blog we often feature videos from the amazing TED Conferences. Take some time tonight to watch the video on the 8-day Academy from India.
All it takes is 8 days to change the world! Masarat Daud, a 26-year-old girl-child from Fatehpur Shekhawati in Rajasthan (India) left her high-flying job to create a 8-day Academy where villagers have learnt Computers, Public Speaking & Communications and a lot more! Each skill takes 8 days (3 hours per day) which totally takes 24 hours to educate communities! No need for months and years; the road to empowerment just got shorter.
To read a great detailed piece about Ms Daud you can read Chris Anderson.
