With 30 children in a class and only 1 teacher it is very hard to give all the students enough attention and develop their talents to the max. Dave Eggers, who is a writer of books and storywriter for magazines, realized that one on one tutoring is the best encouragement for children. He set up a network of volunteers, most of them writers with flexible working hours, to help children with their homework in a fascinating and innovating way. Dave gave a presentation and won a prize with his initiative. The presentation video on the homepage is really funny and heartwarming and makes you want to participate too. (www.onceuponaschool.com)
