UM Center for the Education of Women Some
of you may have seen and remember Tererai Trent who spoke at the 2007
CEW Mullin Welch Lecture with Jo Luck from the Heifer Project. She
talked movingly about growing up impoverished in northern Zimbabwe and
of her dreams of getting an education. It took years, but she made it.
See the video of that lecture at http://www.umich.edu/~cew/aboutcew/cewpodcasts.htm

Of all the people earning university degrees this year, perhaps the most remarkable story belongs a one-time impoverished cattle-herd from Zimbabwe.

Rose Berger Really enjoying reading Linda Burnham's "The Absence of a Gender Justice Framework in Social Justice Organizing." Extremely helpful. I'm thinking about how to apply some principles in a Christian social justice setting.
