Whenever I get together with Valarie, my friend and the former Operations Manager of the DU Bookstore, we talk about her daughter Cheyanne, who is a Peace Corps Volunteer in Mozambique. In the photograph above, Cheyanne is posing with her students, who put on a skit about the importance of reading during the celebration of the opening of a children's library in the town of Homonie, a project spearheaded by Cheyanne's roommate Theresa. With so much emphasis on the negative these days, it is nice to see that many of America's youth are getting out there and making a difference in this world. Idealism is still alive and well - not even having to learn Portuguese can deter them. Talk about dedication! Be sure to check out Cheyanne's Blog at www.timeinmozambique.blogspot.com.
