It all started with Oprah sitting down with Nelson Mandela and discussing building a school for the underprivelidged girls of South Africa…and now all the hard work and dedication has paid off! They recently celebrated the opening with lots of celebrities including Mariah Carey, Alicia Keyes, Chris Tucker and sooo many others! Oprah is wonderful for opening up the gateway for these girls to dream and succeed…I’m proud of her for all she’s done! Now with that having been said…what about all the boys in South Africa? There is so much rape and violence instilled in these young boys because they often have no guidance! These boys are just as underprivelidged and they deserve an education as well! Their motto for the school came from one little girls answer to the question “why do you want to come to this school?” She replied, “Education is my tomorrow”…I must say that reading through my “O” Magazine, I felt really excited for these girls….yet tremendously sad for the boys and even the girls who won’t have a chance to attend any school at all! But I know Oprah must have something more in the works! At least I hope so for the sake of so many other very deserving children! Like Chris Rock said, “I hope they build a school for boys so these girls will have nice and educated men to marry!”
