A World Vision Report
One-Hour Mother's Day Special
The World Vision Report celebrates Mother’s Day, May 11th, with an hour-long special focusing on women in the developing world. Women now work as mechanics in Nigeria, and women mountaineers in Nepal. Some women now defy custom by refusing to be forced into unwanted marriages, or by publicly fighting so-called “honor killings,” and by overcoming physical disabilities as wheelchair athletes. Give a listen and learn how “Mom” is more than cookies and milk at bedtime.
