Obama Gets Advice From Navajos Students

I can not help sharing this story from NPR.

Fourth, fifth and sixth grade students from Eagle's Nest Intermediate School, located on the Navajo Nation reservation in the desert of northern Arizona, wrote letters to President-elect Barack Obama describing their lives and asking questions. I was struck by the profoundness of many of the letters that described poverty and illness. Others made me chuckle (I wonder if Obama does listen to Hannah Montana's music). Excerpts of the letters can be found here. The audio of the students reading from their letters can not be missed.
