		<description><![CDATA[Penny by penny, Lindbergh Elementary School students raised nearly $500 to help schoolchildren in Pakistan. Kate Reich, who teaches second and third grade and organized the fundraiser, said she learned from kindergartners that some of the best places to find pennies are in the creases of furniture and in the parking lot of ShopKo. &#8220;Just [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The Obama administration, which has pledged a new and improved approach to development aid, could learn a lot from the experiences of successful social entrepreneurs. The Obama administration has outlined a three-pronged strategy in Afghanistan, focusing on security, governance and economic development.

		<description><![CDATA[Greg Mortenson&#8217;s teacup is half full, at least. Maybe heading toward three-quarters. His heart is in Afghanistan and Pakistan, where he helps local villages build schools.
