Global Vote in Anna’s school
All World’s Children’s Prize Child Rights Heroes receive prize money to be used in their work for children. Anna Mollel, who was awarded in 2012 for her struggle for the rights of Maasai children with disabilities in Tanzania, used her money to build the Engilanget Primary School, where children with and without disabilities study together. Recently the school organised their Global Vote Day. Anna says, in an interview with the Mariefred newspaper: “The children read The Globe in English. It is fantastic, but if it was also available in Swahili, everyone would be able to read it.One of the participating children, Oini, uses a wheelchair to get around and says:
– I feel that my vote is really important.
