Jan Paschal's Facebook Page

This is A-State Connections on KASU.  I'm Johnathan Reaves.  Today, we continue with our second part of an interview series about a global educational exchange program called Every Child is Ours.  The program works with under-developed elementary schools in Mexico, South Africa, and South Dakota on the Pine Ridge Indian Reservation.  Jan Paschal talks about how she started the organization, and she also spoke with Zodwa Dlamini, who runs the Every Child is Ours campaign in Johannesburg, South Africa.  Jan Paschal is an Arkansan and she started the program while working in the Clinton Administration.  Paschal and Dlamini talk about taking educational supplies to students in Mexico.  Paschal talks about how Every Child is Ours started in Mexico.
