MDG Expressions

Dear Rishab, Tatiana,

 

I just don't know how to respond to this, as I'm not into film making. The

only thing I can think of is to send you the attached chapter from my book,

which addresses the issue of girl education and universal literacy and

refers to the MDGs. This, I suppose could be copied for a display? Plus

photos to go with the article which would need to be credited to the

photographer. Photo of Sophia Swire needs to be attributed to Kiloran

Howard.

 

Is this okay?
