While thinking about multicultural education I was reminded of this video:
I remember watching this in my library science masters program and being reminded how blessed our American students are. The students in this video are eager to read, learn and must wait days or weeks for new books. The librarian rides for miles to bring the books to them and help with their homework. He see it as part of the fight for Columbia's future; the education of the future leaders.
While watching this video again this week, I found a happy update on the library he was in the process of building.
These videos show that with a quick Google search you can find multicultural education resources that would open students eyes.
Cool video. So many kids do not like school or reading. It would be good to show them what kids in other counties experience.
