I love Inventions! Water Distiller from Practical Action

It was the wonderful Professor David Morley who developed my appetite for inventions that solve health and health communications problems. Here is a wonderful invention from Practical Action that shows how to distill water from salty to drinking! I can see a group of teenagers building and managing this whole contraption, cant you?

An Inspiring ANIMATED Talk on our need to Change the Paradigm in Education

A great animation of how we need to change education paradigms. Id recommend all of Ken's talks on TED and his books are great too. Although this is UK and USA focused, many of the education systems in other countries were established in a colonial era and we developed with similar characteristics to those we have in the north. The most powerful message for me in this talk is that we need to urgently wake up our children to the creative talent within - wherever we live.

 

 

The Voice of the Child: Molly in Kenya

I've discovered this video series about Molly - a 12 year old Kenyan living in a low income area in Nairobi, Kenya. I find the way that Molly's voice begins to be heard - inspiring. This is episode 6. I have watched most of them! I am inspired by the joyful crowd of children at the very end and their potential to act as health workers in their families and communities - not later after they have studied - but NOW!

 

I was also inspired today by watching some of the films made by Film Africa. Take a look.
