I think it's great that she opened a school for girls in Africa. The more education the women have, the better chances their culture/people have for survival. Sure American kids are needy too, but Americans don't have to worry about losing most of their constituants to famine and AIDS, not to mention Malaria, Dyptheria, and Dog knows what other illnesses that are easily prevented in a strong country. Also, the women don't have the support and personal power that most Western women do, which is why they need help so desperately.

Kudos to you Oprah for sharing the wealth, stepping up to your mistakes, and moving forward with your goals.
