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)

1. Today, more than 600 million girls live in the developing world.
2. 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.
3. 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.
