The First Grader

Whilst reading through the feeds on Facebook, I stumbled on this trailer from the National Geographic Channel's page. Curiously, I clicked play and sat in awe at what I was watching.

Check it out here:

This movie is on the same wavelength as our initiative.

Education is our driving force. Not only is social media an inexpensive form to educate one's self, but it also doesn't have an age limit. Anyone can log into Wikipedia and absorb knowledge that may or may not be taught in school.

The one thing everyone needs to go to school for is to learn how to read and write, which is why our initiative acts as a compliment to a school's educational process, not as a substitute.

The passion and determination that Maruge shows in this movie to learn to read against all odds made us that more passionate and determined to fulfill this initiative to the max.

I'm seriously looking forward to seeing this movie!
