Oprah's show today

Tagged:  •    •    •    •  

I'm not usually a huge fan of Oprah, but her show today was pretty good.  The princess of Jordan was there and the first woman president of Lyberia.  It was about women in Africa and Muslim countries and helping the poor.  What I really liked was a Sarah McLachlan video called "world on fire".  The video cost 15$ to make and the rest of the money that would have gone to the video went to different charities, hospitals and schools.  It is really neat because it shows what a producer, catering for the days they shoot the video, and other things that would go into making the videowould cost and then shows what that amount of money could od in other countries, like feeding children, education, housing, and rehabilitating Afgani widows.     

Here's the link to the video:

Honestly, I doubt that video really cost $15 to make unless there was a lottttt of volunteer work and technology donations involved.

I saw this show also, and i was impressed by these women. These women showed so much knowlede and wisdom for not just there own countries but thinking of the world as a whole. I have not seen this type of thinking in so long it was very refreshing and hopeful. It was also very positive for women to see the president of Lyberia. She accomplished so much in her life and now she has the greatest honor, to care for the people of her country. This is a great thing for the yooung women of america to strive for.
