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.
