The Girl Effect
I am lucky to have a lovely little daughter. She is lucky to be her. She can do what she wants with her life. She has a loving family, clean air to breath, water to drink and fresh healthy food to eat. She has room to run and play and the time and space to have a happy childhood. Other girls around the world are not so lucky. It is Sunny's birthday tomorrow and so I am going to make a donation through Global Giving to help another girl somewhere in the world who is not as lucky as Sunny. You can choose to donate to specific programs. By donating just $25 I have provided school supplies for 20 girls for one month in a school in India. Hopefully the money really gets to where it is needed!

The Girl Effect is such a powerful video and a powerful movement. I am a Girl Guide leader so show this video a lot during the training of leaders and young women. I think your birthday idea is brilliant.
ReplyDeleteThanks for stopping by my blog. It's always lovely to have someone new stop by.
Like you, I can also hum the Famous Five tune. It does tend to get stuck in there though. Enjoy re-reading one if you manage to find them at your folks' house.
