World News of the Week (WNW) with Maya and Dad
Ten year old Maya and her dad, Jeremy, discuss major news events each week, hoping to inspire other families to discuss the big issues at their dinner tables, on their way to school or, frankly, whenever it works in their busy family lives.
We examine a major event, ask questions of each other and hope to find some answers... and raise more questions!
