| Since 2003, Camilla Barry has played a leading role helping to restore education for Afghans — especially to girls and women — after decades of war that destroyed most of the country and its schools. Recognized for her very real connection to the Afghan people, the founder of Classrooms Across Cultures is currently working with Afghanistan's Ministry of Education to develop hands-on science lessons plans that focus on the use of local plants and materials to complement the new science curriculum in elementary and secondary schools. She emphasizes the importance of teaching critical thinking through the hands-on science experiences, with a fervent hope that the concept will translate to other areas of their lives.  |
