Only the second day of this project and I’m already wearing
a t-shirt! (Sigh.) Actually, it was for “team spirit” for our youth orchestra’s
concert. I got a lot of funny looks from people in the hallway (dress + t-shirt
= slightly unconventional) but hey, I also hope to challenge conventional ideas
about fashion, especially in a high school where it’s not cool to wear the same
thing twice. To wear the same thing for one month? Bring it on.
Today I’d like to highlight the organization that we’re
working with to provide education in rural
What is really neat about this organization is how it works
long-term to help improve women’s lives. The first step, of course, is education.
Camfed helps to provide necessary materials for girls to attend school (for example,
uniforms, tuition fees, books, shoes) from elementary school to high school. Camfed
then offers business training and microloans to these women to develop a
sustainable income. These women then become leaders, providing mentorship to
other women and girls in their communities. Can you think of any better
investment return?
Please consider making a charitable donation to Camfed.
Their efforts are really working to change lives. Please also check out videos
on their Youtube.com channel (links below) – they put faces to the amazing
number of people they’ve helped through their work.
