Unusual Actors Becky is a kind of actor called a mime. A mime
stories silently using just his or
her body. Becky and her theater company, Black Box, act without using words. They wear
white face paint and dress in black. Their plays are performed on an empty stage. But when
the show begins, you can
a forest, a sea or a dining room performed by the
actors. Without changing her costume, Becky transforms from a lovely princess to a lion or
even an apple tree. Though her hands are empty, she can drink hot tea, carry a
bag or play with a pretty kitten. When you
at her, you understand the story
without any words. The mimes work
to make their movements perfect,
otherwise the audience will not understand them.

Every child has the right to learn.

On any given school day, over 1 billion children around the world head to class.
More children and adolescents today are enrolled in pre-primary, primary and secondary education than ever before. Yet, for many of them, schooling does not lead to learning.
A lack of trained teachers, inadequate learning materials, makeshift classes and poor sanitation facilities make learning difficult for many children. Others come to school too hungry, sick or exhausted from work or household tasks to benefit from their lessons.
The consequences are grave: An estimated 617 million children and adolescents around the world are unable to reach minimum proficiency levels in reading and mathematics – even though two thirds of them are in school.
This learning crisis is the greatest global challenge to preparing children and adolescents for life, work and active citizenship.
