The world has different levels of poverty.  Deepa Willingham (pictured on the left) explained the differences and focused on the lowest level of extreme poverty.  Education, especially of the world's women, would be a stepping stone to reducing the lower levels of poverty.  Kristine Pedersen (shown at right) showed us photos of the Piyali Learning Center in Kolkata, India.  It is focused on the education of girls as a way to increase standards of living.
