Off Topic Worthy Cause: American Co-operative School in Tunis

A friend of my family is the principal at the high school in the American Co-operative School in Tunis - which was recently looted and badly damaged in an attack by Islamic radicals and delinquents.  They have now launched a recovery fund to help them rebuild.  I think it would be good for American society to show a peaceful determination not to back down in the face of that kind of violent intimidation and to rebuild the school.  The staff are displaying a great deal of personal courage in sticking with the school and rebuilding it after what has happened.  I encourage my readers to both donate and share the link with others: www.acst.net.

Happy 2010

Best wishes to all for a great 2010!
