Hanna, I only found it on YouTube (good or bad, up to the viewer, it is posted in 10 minute chunks) The girls and I started watching it last night. Very interesting so far, it really sucks you in with the personal stories of these children. Also amazing is how the head mistress can just hand out scholarships and change a child's life with seemingly a blink of an eye and very little red tape where here, you have to jump through so much red tape to even get just a little help. Example: I have to get a form completed by our doctor just to allow my daughter to have a water bottle in school! Why you may ask??? Students were filling up their water bottles with vodka so they basically outlawed them from school unless you have an official medical form from your doctor AND it must be redone every year.
