A very cool girl

One of the girls I'm working with for Excellent (the IB girls raising money in Sweden), is way cool. She managed to do a big demonstration against racism in her hometown. Apparently there were some racist people that showed up there and got their point across. She reacted instantly and was holding a rally on the 25:th. This is really impressive, and even more impressive is that she got articles in the paper and air-time on the radio, spreading the word by interviewing her.
With people like this working to raise funds for Excellent, I can't be anything else but happy and deeply impressed! The title of the article below is "The angry and the brave". She was also interviewed by a Swedish evening news show. Find the link below. My friend is the one on the right. We sent her and her friend two CD's with films, images and information on the school, to help them in their work in Sweden. Hopefully they can come down to Kenya soon. I would love to give them a tour of the school! It makes me full of hope to know that there are people like this in Sweden. I'm sure she will be a strong future leader and will do anything to support her in her future.
