Quite possibly the coolest 10 year old girl in the land, Alaina Podmorow, was moved to action after her mother Jamie (coolest mom in the land?) took her to hear a speech by Canadian journalist and human rights activist Sally Armstrong.
”I heard about bombings in Afghanistan. I was unaware. That night, I got educated about it,” said Alaina.
In her speech, Armstrong explained that while many Afghan girls have gone back to school since the fall of the Taliban in 2001, the fear of local warlords and militia groups continues to keep girls out of classrooms.
