Niger Map and Flag
Niger is the largest country in West Africa. Here you can see it on the map, as well as its flag. The upper orange band on the flag represents the northern regions of the Sahara Desert. The center white band represents purity and the Niger River. The Lower green band represents both hope and the fertile regions of southern Niger. The orange circle in the center represents the sun and independence.

A Conversation About Gender Equality
This video is in response to Sheryl WuDunn's video, Our Century's Greatest Injustice. She tells the story of a young girl from China who was denied an education because her family could not afford the $13 tuition fee. She still made the two hour journey each day to listen outside the schoolhouse doors. An article was written about her in the New York Times and soon enough her education was funded. She went on to become an accountant and was able to buy her family a house with electricity and running water--a luxury they hadn't had before. She was able to prove that women are capable of doing everything a man can do if given the opportunity.
