The book is still in our reading list! But what is not, are her brilliant ideas about human development. Development has been broken for too long, for we have imagined it to be driven by the economics of welfare. There is a missing link.
Our obsession for books, a passion for working with children and the Capability Approach for Human Development inspires our Theory of Change.
Paper is the oldest, articulate means for humanity.
It can be used to write and draw to tell stories. We started there. Now, add a QR code and a Raspberry Pi to power the code, you have a breakthrough classroom. And that is where we are now. We are integrating Paper and Raspberry Pi to create a pioneering classroom for children in adversity. It costs just $1 per child per year.
If you look closely you will perhaps see like we do, how a simple sheet of paper can be a powerful vehicle for the empowerment of a community through the development of its children.
