This piece literally puts me to shame. Twelve year olds are shining light on important ideas, views and problems that people (especially myself) do not pay attention to. When I think of Africa I never thought about the problem of water and how it affects the future of the teenage girls that live there. I never thought about this problem until I heard this story. This piece contained a vivid picture of two powerful and educated twelve year olds and it gives an example of how much the youth can be independent in their own thinking. I always look for stories that I feel no one ever tells and I think this piece is one of them.
