You shouldn't need to join facebook but can just click on the links in the widget to access the articles. If you have any problems or comments please mail me at arandjel 'AT' eva.mpg.de.

Nicholas D Kristof OpEd on African parents prioritizing boozing over their children's education


A plea for microfinance in subsaharan Africa: Although its uncomfortable to admit, this is happening in some of the poorest parts of Africa, parents (predominantly fathers) prioritize booze/cigs/petits nanas over their children's education. A really great NYtime OpEd report by Nicholas D Kristof.

I can't embed the vid so you can go to Nicholas D Kristof's facebook page to view the video (or the DNApes facebook page) or watch it on the NYTimes Website
