I especially appreciated the first two articles. I did want to mention that today, 16 June, is the "International Day of the African Child". The history of this historically symbolic day can be found at this link: http://www.hrea.org/feature-events/african-child-day.php It was the tremendous personal sacrifice & selfless determination of the students of the Soweto Uprising of 1976 which drew me into the realm of activism for the Mother Continent and it is their memory that I continue in this activism today.
