Building a meaningful Lao youth education program

My article on building a meaning full Lao youth education program is up at the Twin Cities Daily Planet this week. In Minnesota there are at least five components that we've strived to fund each year to varying degrees of success. Sometimes only a few elements were able to be fully-funded or implemented but it's a model we felt had a strong possibility of success.

We'd love to hear what other approaches you think are important, and more importantly, successful for improving students academic performance in school. Be a part of the dialogue!
