School for Teaching Tolerance and Values in Pakistan

Veda Gill is the Executive Director of the Presbyterian Education Board in Pakistan (Facebook).  She oversees a number of schools that educate over 6,000 students.   These schools founded initially by Presbyterian missionaries in the mid 19th century are now far superior to government-run schools and they reach out to the poorest, both Muslim and Christian.  She believes that education is the key to peace.  She speaks with me about her important work.
