We start in india where a third of the population cant read or write though every child has a legal right to education literacy is especially low among girls from poorer segments of society. Khan has already been in class the entire day but shes still eager for more. Hardly anything can stop this thirteen year old from pursuing her love of learning making that. Are very important for every everyone so i love to come to school even if im tired and if you are if i am just six of that day most accomplished the first time she went to school was seven years ago in a village just outside indias capital new delhi she got there thanks to literacy india an organization that helps underprivileged children who would otherwise not be in school. The organization focuses particularly on young girls. Sobbed represents of what can happen when these kinds of challenges are overcome she lives walking distance from the school and shows a room with her parents and sister the family doesnt have a lot of money and neither parent received much of an education for her mother of in school was never an option growing up. But today she feels her lack of education limits what she can do and wants a different life for her daughters and that but. I feel very sad that im not educated that ive only had just a little bit of schooling but now when i want to use the phone i need to wait for my children or my husband to help and there are lots of things like that that i have to think about the. Father dies clothes for a living but business is slow right now the machines he usually works with are barely in use. Them doesnt have the qualifications to change professions easily. Education as a potential opportunity for the entire family that if she studies and make something of herself then it will be to our benefit our life will change and so will hers there will not definitely be change and it will be good the signs are promising sabia already uses what shes learnt to help her father with things he used to struggle with like taking orders or writing bills and study his recent admission to a more established school is also a major step one she hopes will help her achieve her dream of becoming a doctor or a journalist. Tens of thousands of young refugees have come to germany in recent years though they would like to many have trouble getting to know germans their own age a musical project wants to help strangers become friends. The last rehearsal before Opening Night flying high is turning these teens into singers actors and friends. Ive made new friends. That was really great for me. I didnt really know anyone before. We were hers just once a week. And when im here i forget the whole world im just here with my friends. My hair is eighteen xena is seventeen two years ago mara rived in germany alone from syria xena is german and has lived in berlin for eight years for her the musical provides a creative balance to her preparations for High School Graduation exams. The teens have been rehearsing together for half a year they developed a musical from their own ideas the plot a peaceful people is attacked hostages are taken and adventures ensue. Where. Director Todd Jonathan fletcher wrote the script based on the teens ideas and composed the songs hes been working with youth for thirty years. My aims are to show the kids that theyre capable of more than they ever imagined possible these people who have ended up in europe from whove come from somewhere else can contribute not just being here not just be integrated in the sense in the easy sense of the word integrative but contribute which is beyond integration and i think thats what people want to do. Then a quick cost of check the performers even so dear own outfits. My hair and zina like the others are doing all this in their free time and often for the first time. For this particular project the art is a means to an end. And so weve strangely achieved that goal. Of integration and bringing people together and we now have to still keep working on the means because of course it would be nice if the musical works out and im sure it will but its not really about that. For Todd Fletcher this project is much more about bringing teenagers together helping them discover new perspectives and sharing them with the wider world. Plastic waste is a major problem for the small African Island state of sound tommy and pricey environmentalists want to change that and encourage the inhabitants to collect Plastic Waste. Thats. The day you. Take music is a way of life on principle.

Celine financial is helping out with the counting she works in the Biosphere Reserve team she says most of the plastic bottles arriving on the island contain palm oil for cooking. By holding collections every few months the team has gathered up four hundred fifty thousand bottles for every fifty they hand out a reusable container made of stainless steel. Put in metal over the plastic so we have four tons of plastic stored on the main island of southall me a Maritime Transport company is helping us by taking it to lisbon free of charge to the recycling companies there will receive it and it was a couple mess tourism hasnt yet come to the island and thats the way they want to keep it what the locals also need jobs so the idea is to help cycle the ardennes waste seventy percent of which is organic or yeah i about her that i did that. These women are making commercial compost its a new venture on the island and its hard work the compost spades need to be turned three times a week. Is an important lastic thats a bad. The women aiming to sell their first compost in three months theyve already approached potential clients and they hope all their hard work will eventually payoff. Princie for your learned certainly not taking the easy way and. Finally we turn our gaze to russia where violence against homosexuals both in public and in private has long been an issue one courageous young woman has stood up to it. And you know. They were running around school screaming that im a damn lesbian and that i should die that their homophobia was reason enough to attack me.
