My other task for this Tuesday is to write about Girl Effect. Many other people have committed to write a similar post, (if you are a fellow blogger, it’s not too late to join in).
“The most powerful force of change on the planet is a girl.”
Three Truths: See more on the Girl Effect Fact Sheet (PDF)
- Today, more than 600 million girls live in the developing world.
- When a girl in the developing world receives seven or more
years of education, she marries four years later and has 2.2
fewer children. - Approximately one-quarter of girls in developing countries are not in school.
One Wish:
- I wish that everyone who reads this post would watch the video below. I wish it would touch their hearts like it did mine. I wish they would go to the Girl Effect website and learn more. I wish that what they learn will motivate them to do something good, something that would help, like it has me.
Okay, I realize that was more than just one wish, but I dare you.
