ACT1-Craig Esbeck of Mango Tree
I choose Craig Esbeck as my hero and I use Facebook to contact him. I also interviewed him through emai (since this is my HW of a class). The following is some intro of his company.
Mango Tree was founded in 2000 by Craig Esbeck, a primary school teacher in the US.
Mango Tree creates novel educating tools－such
as board games, story books, and charts－to help primary school
teachers in Uganda to educate in non-traditional ways. So far, Mango tree has
covered 25% of Ugandan government primary school, and more than 875,000 Ugandan
children are using the tools. Some Mango Tree’s products－Antiretroviral Therapy－ are used in various countries
including Nigeria, Lesotho, Kenya, Tanzania, Botswana, The Democratic Republic
of Congo, Rwanda and Ethiopia. The organization also was selected as Ashoka
Fellows in 2002.

I love the fact that a primary teacher is reaching out and working with other primary teachers across the ocean using the common language of children and games! Thanks so much for introducing this work to myself and the network!

The focus on primary schools really caught my attention. Children around the world need to be educated and we have to start from the bottom up. We need a future of people who know what they are doing and everyone should be given the opportunity to learn.
