Education World

The Educator’s Best Friend

They wanted to create a complete online resource where educators could start each day to find the lesson plans and research materials they were looking for … (about 1/2).

Each time a girl opens a book and reads a womanless history, she learns she is worth less – Myra Pollack Sadker.
And: History helps us learn who we are, but when we don’t know our own history, our power and dreams are immediately diminished.

Medical Aid and Relief for the Children of Chechnya MARCCH

Linked with Donald Rayfield  – England.

Welcome to Marcch.org: In Chechnya the children are the most vulnerable and innocent victims of the recent Chechen wars. Medical Aid and Relief for Children of Chechnya (MARCCH) is there to help countless children, many orphaned, who receive little or no medical aid and have no one to care about their plight. Years of living in cramped and inadequate conditions or refugee camps, coupled with poor nutrition, have caused the health of many children to deteriorate still further with dire consequences to this day. Diseases such as TB have consequently taken a greater hold on the Chechen population … (Homepage).
