I could write for days about how investment in education is crucial to a country's development. I could write about how children need school to expand their capacities to imagine and aspire. I could write about how economies need educated people to make innovative ideas work. But the best reason for supporting a program like this is that the money you give goes right to the kid who needs it. School costs $210, with tuition and books and uniform. That's what I am aiming to raise, and that's what our adopted student will get. Do the right thing.
