Little by Little
This  captivating site follows a group of kids from a private school in Northern California as they visit a Tanzanian village to lavish a schoolhouse and its students with supplies, aid, and boundless enthusiasm. It's touching to see video clips of the Americans, many of them African-American or Latino, speaking of the enormous challenges their new friends face. But it's the Tanzanian children who give this site its most poignant moments as they describe the ravages of AIDS, squirm through an American-style sex ed class, and raise their voices in song. The site's sophisticated design presents lush photos and video and audio interviews -- and contrasts stirringly with the grinding poverty that the small school contends with. But with friends like these, it's hard not to believe that things will get better. Little by little. (in Africa) |
