Congratulations Correspondents on completing the first assignment! Reading about the strong female leaders in each of your countries has been enthralling and deeply moving. I came across a New York Times op-ed by Nicolas Kristof (co-author of \"Half the Sky\") and want to share it with all of you. Dr. Hawa Abdi is a truly inspiring leader in Somalia and a woman we should all know about! Check it out here: <a href=\"http://www.nytimes.com/2010/12/16/opinion/16kristof.html?src=me&amp;ref=homepage\">http://www.nytimes.com/2010/12/16/opinion/16kristof.html?src=me&amp;ref=home...</a> Cheers, Lydia VOF volunteer and Midwife
