she helped me arrange the first trip to malawi on this. running unicef started talking about the problem of girls education and dana studied it and helped us decide that, yeah, we really should move into this territory. i was a little reluctant because desks, this very simple procedure we're doing. it's worked fabulously well. the more you get into the difficulty of girls education, which every teacher talks about, every teacher talks about the difficulty of retaining girls in the classroom. the families, especially when they have to pay tuition have to make the decision who gets to go. they will almost always choose the boy. almost always. the president of malawi is a woman, the first in history. so we're kind of using her example as an inspiration for what we need to do in getting more girls to stay in school. that's the mission, to stay in school. this is throughout africa and malawi, it's a perfect representation of the challenge. >> you talked to development experts around the globe, the importance of women getting education, girls an

spike in malawi.rices involved in getting the desks built. the price of steel, the price of the wood that the workers use in malawi to make those desks. but any amount you can contribute is helpful. if you contribute $10 to desks or tuition, someone else will contribute $10 and someone else will contribute $10 so a girl will go to high school who otherwise would not have had a chance to go to high school and she will see a desk for the first time in her life at that school and she will treasure that desk in ways that we who take such things for granted find hard to imagine. and it will be the only furniture that she has at home or at the school where the girls in their dorm torys sleep on the floor. and cook their meals in a kitchen which is nothing more than a walled in area with an open fire on the floor. since i last spoke to you about this last week we have raised an additional $138,070 for desks. in our last report we were just $530 below the $6 million mark and as of today we have raised a total

of malawi.ident in all of southern africa. education is the key to theed a va advancement for women in malawi. only 7% of girls complete high school while 15% of boys get high school degrees. there are many roadblocks for girls trying to get through high school, including tuition. high school in malawi is not free. in a poverty stricken country with a per capita annual income of $858, most families can't possibly pay the fees for all of the children or any of their children to go to high school. they are more likely when they do pay such fees to pay for a boy's education than a girl's. that's why we have established a girl's tuition program. we have raised an additional $50,906 for girls tuition in malawi. the full cost for a year of school for each girl is $177 which includes room and board for the girls who need it. the full cost of each of our desks that are made in malawi has increased to $65 each, reflecting a fuel spike in malawi. that has increased many prices involved in getting the desk

and $10 will buy a lot of soap in malawi. on facebook.reader told us i donated to the kind fund for two desks and one girl's scholarship. my husband asked what i wanted for christmas. the only thing i could think of. i can just imagine the kids sitting at the desks. when the girl find out that someone in the world cared enough about her to send her to school, it brings tears to my eyes. educate a girl and you educate many generations to come. >> you know, brenda, when i first read your post it almost brought tears to my eyes. the simple fact that brenda and i have connected on this so completely that we both see this exactly the same way. and that thousand and thousand of you react to kids in need of desks exactly the way i do, always, is deeply moving to me. at our website, thelastword.msnbc.com where you can always find a way to contribute to the kind fund all year long. mary holmes wrote, lawrence, i just baltimore a desk. i was a teacher. i know desks are not merely furniture they're a learning tool because they give physical structur
