Hello, Children, I’m Your (12-year-old) Headmistress

Here is a story in the Times of London about a brave 12 year old girl in India who has started her own school to pass on what she learns to the other children in her impoverished village.  She attends classes between 10am  and 3pm, then comes home and shares her lessons with her less fortunate peers.  All this in the face of Maoist rebels who, in the past four months have blown up 30 schools and community buildings.

That's courage.
