Book of the Month: "Malala's Magic Pencil" BY Malala Yousafzai
Malala's message that your own magic pencil – your voice, your words, your art – can make a real difference to the world we live in, is profound and empowering. Any change-makers looking for a place to start will feel inspired by Malala's encouragement that small actions can create big change.
"Malala's Magic Pencil "by Malala Yousafzai (read by Jeannette Wilt, DSEA Treasurer)
Visionary of the Month: Nelson Mandela
Nelson Mandela was once the face and leader of the Anti-Apartheid movement, relentlessly fighting against racial discrimination all through his life. His actions even brought him to prison, though this did not deter him. His tremendous focus, determination, focus and will, even after serving 30 years in jail, urge him to continue his campaigns, making him come out as a hero and lead his country into having an equal and free future.
