A Day in the life of an Afghanistan student #wakeup

This is what kids in Afghanistan go though just to go to school. It's sad how we take so much for granted. We must continue to educate ourselves on foreign issues. It will cause us to be more informed and have a better knowlegde about global issues and not just issues on our block or in our hoods.

20yr College Student Takes a Stand

More inspirational junk! We need to hear more about young women like this---- She is so FEARLESS! 20-year old college student Marisol Valles has taken up the position of chief of police of Guadalupe, Mexico -- the country's second most violent city & controlled by drug lords. No one else would take the job. Keep her in your prayers! You are an inspiration!!

Guadalupe's mayor was murdered in June; police be-headings are common. The current mayor said his hands were tied: Valles, a criminology major, "was the only person to accept the position."

she had this to say after being asked if she was afraid...

"Afraid? Everyone is afraid and it's very natural. What motivates me here is that the project is very good and can do a lot for my town. I know that we are going to change and remove this. - Marisol Valles"

$100 Million for Newark Schools

Nothing but love for the Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg who donated $100 million to the failing Newark school system. Our education system needs help like this! The donation is the first in part of Zuckerberg's new foundation to improve schools. This is cool as hell because he is the youngest billionaire making such a large impact on society. We need more ppl with money and power to have a heart like this!
