WVR - Show 322 (Half Hour) - Angelique Kidjo and 8 Year Old Mechanics

Series: World Vision Report - Weekly Half Hour
From: World Vision Report
Length: 00:28:00

Okay, you’re on the road in Pakistan and your car breaks down. You pull into the nearest auto garage and an eight-year old kid comes out to look under the hood. An 8-year old mechanic? That’s right -- not in school, but living and sleeping at the garage and fixing cars. That’s one of the stories on this week’s World Vision Report. We also check on kids working the checkpoints in the West Bank and sample the music of Angelique Kidjo. Those stories and more -- this week on the World Vision Report. Read the full description.
