From the BBC News site - Around the world millions of children are not getting a proper education because their families are too poor to afford to send them to school. In India, one schoolboy is trying change that. In the first report in the BBC's Hunger to Learn series, Damian Grammaticas meets Babar Ali, whose remarkable education project is transforming the lives of hundreds of poor children

Damian Grammaticas How cool is that name?

I think the boy who Damian meets has reversed his name in order to flummox the 40 theives.

:D

ETA: I should state that I think the young man is doing a wonderful thing and all credit to him.

According to the article he has won awards for his work.

I think that what he is doing is brilliant, and is helping hundreds of people achieve a better life.

This is impressive. I'm hoping I can find out more, specifically how one would send a donation and actually ensure it gets there. Even the sort of small donation I can afford would make a big difference. This is important work, and it's so good to see that these folks, who so desperatly need opportunities and education, value it to the extent they are willing to go to this extent for it.
