Terrorist attacks against the US has hampered a lot of activities but this has gone steady despite the killing of the main actors of the project.
Mana is eleven years old
She goes to a public school
Her performance was very poor
Kate Stevens wanted to help her
Kate is Mana's math teacher
She was in Somalia in the 60's
She loved Somali children
Mana's exam results shocked her
Not only Mana was performing low
Some other Somali's did the same
They were victims of war trauma
They needed emotional support
Kate proposed a rehabilitation
center
But the school management rejected the idea
Kate insisted the the children be helped
Between she and management a tussle started
Kate went tough with the school board
But unfortunately she couldn't win
Kate resorted to resig from work
But this was not the end of the story
Kate continued her efforts to help Somalis
She contacted a funding agency in New York
But while finishing procedural matters
A tragic incident had happened in NY
A plane was slammed into the walls of the building
Her meeting coincided with September 11
Clouds of gloom hovered over the nation
But in death Kate continued her efforts
N.B Shall finish the story in next posting

This is so tearing. I truly wish I could be as brave as Kate, it's a shame I'm such a simpleton with the desire, but not the drive. Great write.

Mack Peters is about to play A Risky Game—and the next move could get him killed.

It is very strange the way world-wide instant communications seem to be desroying compassion, as well as fostering it.
