 dorine says: Oprah keeps on giving.....This will make a huge difference in these girls lives and their country. Kudos to Oprah. If only more rich people would invest in education at this level. I just found out that she had gone to an American inner city school and asked what the kids needed. They said iPods, DVD players, etc. She decided to take her money to South Africa. Can't blame her for that. Great! I wish some american Celebs would invest in Cape Verde too  What a wonderful message Oprah is sending to the people of S. Africa and to the rest of us. Education plus opportunity are key to achieving a more just, equitable world. She puts her money where her mouth is. I just found out that she had gone to an American inner city school and asked what the kids needed. They said iPods, DVD players, etc. She decided to take her money to South Africa. Can't blame her for that. I can. I think it shows that here giving--a good thing, despite what I'm about to say--is contingent, in part, on being adored by those she's helping for the way she wants to do the helping. I think it would have been much better had she done the harder work of slapping American kids upside the head with the reality check they so desperately need, rather than walking away shaking her head in disgust. She didn't want the hard work. She didn't want to deal with what Bill Cosby ha... I can see your point, GD. I clipped the Newsweek article today. If you read the whole thing, you'll see how Oprah feels so deeply for these girls. I commend her for her efforts. She has big dreams and the money to get it started. |
