Girls 1, Ignoramuses 0

Please watch this vid. It's fun, uplifting and informative but more than that, whenever a new person watches, money goes towards the reopening in Pakistan of girls' schools closed down by Ignoramuses Ltd, aka the Taliban. As the video points out, they are terrified that their world will change if girls learn to read, write, earn money of their own and think for themselves - and the best of it is, they're quite right; it will, and the sooner the better. The vid doesn't actually need sound on either, if you're watching at work. The more new viewers, the more money for girls' schools, so do share if you can.

Unusually for her, Tabitha watched the video with rapt attention (the only time I remember her doing that before was when one of the sherlockbbc comm members played the Sherlock theme on an accordion). The idea of what Tabby might have done had she learned to read and write is quite frightening, but I sent them a small donation.
