Complete a sentence using the following: Teenager, songs, and sanitation club. Give up? 14 year old Shanta, the youngest of 7 children, has not only completed the sentence, she lives it. Shanta heads a sanitation program in Nepal that teaches villagers lessons in a long and healthy life via songs about cleanliness and hygiene. Her mission has had a positive effect on other aspects of village life beyond sanitation. She doesn't have a great singing voice, but she does one that is all heart and courage to make a difference. It takes a village, they say. No, it doesn't.
