“I have seen a lot of men, for example, who will make a will and include their daughters whether they are married or not. And perhaps the greatest change of attitude is that today, at least in Kenya, if you don't send your child to school - unless it's a matter of poverty or religion, and it is not that there no schools - then people wonder, "why the hell don't you send your children to school?"

We’ve got to turn off the TV set, we’ve got to put away the video game, and we have to tell our children that education is not a passive activity, you have to be actively engaged in it. If we encourage that attitude and our community is enforcing it, I have no doubt we can compete with anybody in the world.” IfsWorldChildrenSaidCountryGovernmentJobsTurnsGamesParentCommunityAttitudeDoubtTvsActivityOur ChildrenObligationVideoEngagedNo DoubtFundPassiveOur CommunityTurn Off Author:Barack Obama
