Oprah Defends Academy for Girls: Tonight CNN

As a public school teacher I appreciate the fact that she built a school for children who will come to school to learn. I feel like a work in a detention center, daycare, or babysitter. Besides its her money.

Ok, like who are you? You have 9 posts and have YET to introduce yourself in the proper thread. Please grace us with your info.

Anyway, Oprah is truly a spectacular person and I wish that I may one day make a fraction of the contributions that she makes. I watch her special "Oprah in South Africa" everytime that it comes on and it continues to have a profound effect on me.

I think the what she and others are doing in Africa is great, phenomenal, sorely needed! However, it seems like MOST of what we hear about is in the country of SOUTH Africa. What about the other parts of the beleaguered continent?
