Several months ago in Uganda's remote Kole district, a teacher at Baramindyang
Primary School discovered that members of the local Parent Teacher Association had embezzled some 700,000 Ugandan shillings -- about $225 -- from the school. Appalled, the teacher managed to get her hands on a photo of the meeting at which the embezzlers allegedly committed the theft. She then gathered parents and local leaders together for a meeting and threatened to show the police the picture. In short order, the embezzlers handed the money back.
That happy ending is thanks to a program of the Women of Uganda
