I am reading a fantastic book called
"A life less Ordinary" by Baby Halder
This book was translated from Hindi into English. It is a remarkable autobiography of a young Indian woman who had to fight poverty, violence and all sorts of hardships. It is a story of courage and faith and survival. Imagine becoming a mother at the age of forteen!?!
This book has become an International best seller
Ma lecture du moment:
"Une vie moins ordinaire" de Baby Halder
Ce livre traduit en Français de l'Hindi est fascinant. Je dirai même que c'est une remarquable autobiographie d'une jeune femme qui a du se battre contre la pauvreté, la violence et a dû surmonté tant de difficultés! Elle a fait preuve de courage immense! Imaginez se marier à 12 ans et de devenir mère à 14!?!
Ce livre est devenu un best seller international et pour cause!
On a different note, a sad sad one...
In Memoriam
"Schools should be places of safety and sanctuary and learning. When that sanctuary is violated, the impact is felt in every American classroom and every American community." President Georges W. Bush
Such horror has not happened in Luxembourg (yet) but apart from teaching our children to be respectful, tolerent, kind as well as generous to people, to be ready to learn should we teach them that if anyone comes into their classroom shooting, they should pretend to be dead???
