Kiran Bir Sethi teaches kids to take charge

Our family is heading to India in less than 2 weeks…and I find myself seeking resources about the education system in a third world country.  I am amazed how one woman can be so inspirational and change the life of one child at a time, in a country with a population of over 1.21 billion people (2011 Census).




Kiran Bir Sethi shows how her groundbreaking Riverside School in India teaches kids life's most valuable lesson: "I can." Watch her students take local issues into their own hands, lead other young people, even educate their parents.


The founder of the Riverside School in Ahmedabad, Kiran Sethi has launched an initiative to make our cities more child-friendly
