You need google about Thandiwe... a student from Jack Cecup School in Lusaka.Zambian girl - Thandiwe Chama Awarded Children’s Peace Prize in 
the Hague …:
"In 1999, when she was only eight-years-old, her school was closed because there were no teachers. Thandiwe refused to accept this and led 60 other children in walking to find another school. As a result, all the children were taken into the Jack Cecup School.
Strengthened by this achievement, Thandiwe has been fighting ever since for the right to education for all children.
Thandiwe continues to impress, for example by speaking in church about children and AIDS - an issue not always discussed easily in churches. With a friend, she wrote and illustrated a booklet called “The Chicken with AIDS”, telling young children about the perils of AIDS.
She also co-authored a song called “For My Sake” about the need for children to be supported and protected - a song which has already been played in South Africa, Tanzania, as well as the United Kingdom."
