Students from Nadirah Moreland and Jonas Zuckerman’s Education Academy & World Cultures classes participated in a Sister Cities project at Oakland Technical High School. They researched youth issues in various developing countries where Oakland has a Sister Cities relationship. The groups chose the issue of child prostitution in Brazil as their focal point for action and research because of the extremity of the issue and its overarching impact on AIDS, health care, lack of educational opportunities and child labor.
