so here it is: our stop-motion project to show not only the diversity of eurasia but also the ways in which youth from every field are participating in the Kingdom.



it was true collaboration.
quite the labor of love. but so worth it in the end.

india elects first woman speaker

The elections recently wrapped up in India, and the new Speaker is a woman. Meira Kumar is not only the first woman to occupy the Speaker of the House seat, but she is from a lower-caste, Dalit background.

The BBC article (linked below) says this, "Observers say her election improves the Congress party's image as pro-women and a supporter of the lower castes."

Read it all for more info. This sounds like a pretty significant step for India -- for women, for Dalits, for all. I can't wait to see what comes of her new position...
