There comes a moment every semester when all the disparate topics of discussion, and nitty gritty readings, and charts and diagrams that elude me - they are all made worth it. My pick-ax strikes gold! (Well, it's gold to me - maybe that makes it fool's gold, but it shines & thrills me and that's good enough.)
Education and Development in Sub-Saharan Africa has been pins & needles in my face. It's convinced me I did the right thing not specializing in development. But today I found an education project in the Philippines that will enable me to fight through our research paper component, and is -I SAY- the sword in the stone that could vanquish Malawi's dragons of teacher shortage, out-of-school youth, budget problems, population growth, AIDS rates, and centralized planning. Just call me Wart! Then again, don't.
Project Impact is clearly and compellingly discussed here. Don't pretend you are anything other than desperate to learn more. Seriously, don't fake ambivalence. It's not cool.
