Tanzania - Hero Rats

Bart Weetjens isrunning a lab in Tanzania, where he trains rats to sniff out deadly unexploded land mines. Tanzania is a country has been damaged by the civil war. After the war, many people still die each day from unexploded land mines that left there when the war ended. Bart Weetjens started an organization called Hero Rat Programs to train rat detect land mines. Those rats replace dogs because they are easier to train. Those rats are saving human lives from land mines and other unexploded devices. The program cleared out many acres of lands so people can build houses, schools and living safely without being feared for their lives. To be honest, I have always thought of rats as creepy-crawling creatures roaming the sewers that I really have no interest in whatsoever. However, this episode has entirely altered my point of view on these rodents. I had no idea that rats are actually intelligent creatures and are capable of being trained-- especially to accomplish the heroic task of detecting landmines and saving numerous lives. These rats truly are heroes.

India - Hole In the Wall

They know can suff through the internet and read about the news and articles from all over the world. He helped the poor communities know more about what is really happening to the outside world. Dr. Mitra's program helped kids to increase their knowledge so they can use that knowledge when they grow up. Mitra is convinced that computers can bring prosperity to poor, rural areas and provide local jobs. The program is now being use at other cities with great success.
