It's disheartening that majority of policymakers lack trust in the public schools they are entrusted to manage, choosing instead to enroll their own children in private schools. How do we bridge this divide & ensure every child has access to the quality education?

The Ship That Disappeared, And Was Found Nearly 500 Years Later in 2008 in the Namibian Desert. The Gold Was Still Aboard!
The Bom Jesus (The Good Jesus) set sail from Lisbon, Portugal, on March 7, 1533, laden with gold and copper ingots – and disappeared. Its fate was unknown until 2008 when its remains were discovered in the Namibian desert with the gold coins aboard, in one of the most exciting archaeological finds of recent years.
It is speculated that the Bom Jesus sank when it was pulled too close to shore in a storm off the coast of Namibia, causing the ship’s hull to collide with a rock and lean over, capsizing the vessel. As the coastline waters receded, the Bom Jesus reemerged in the desert – Greek Reporter
