    In other words they just joined hands to spread evil feminism sponsored by UN . Education is a different issue but these people want Evey girl to ape female chauvinism and delay marriage . I hope islamic countries will put staunch resistance to their propaganda . Friedas disputed past and 5 min of fame in ' slum dog ' will b helpful . This can get worse with hillary , so we want TRUMP to win . He should put an end to feminism and promote conservative purity / chastity among girls

    Very good initiative on the part of Freida Pinto to move forward and take interest in helping the girls of Liberia, Morocco and Spain in pursuing the role of Education.

    The Western World, particularly the people of U.S.A. know too well that it is the bond of Education that makes India survive day after day in spite of all the poverty and scarcities that prevail in India that still motivates a girl to move forward with determination and hope for a better future.

    Freida Pinto's willingness to join the Obama family visiting Africa is a move in the right direction that will enable the world to realize that India is prepared to help many others that are less fortunate than people of India.

    Keep the good work, Freida, and may God help you to shine further in the world of "helping one another".

    Good initiative, hats off Freida. The Obama's had 8 years in office, and didn't visit Liberia, nor did she try to promote Education in Liberia. Please don't try to promote your gay agenda in Liberia.
