October 11 is the UN’s International Day of the Girl. Millions of girls face barriers to education that boys do not. And yet, when you educate a girl, you can break cycles of poverty in just one generation.
As well, the Nobel Peace Prize is being announced on this day. Malala Yousafzai, 16 year old activist (featured at our Superwomen event) has been nominated for this year.
10x10 has given us access to one chapter of Girl Rising, the film we brought to Harrisburg in June. If you missed it then, go to 10x10act.org to look at the trailer, or the chapter about Suma from Nepal. I challenge you to watch this and not be motivated to make a difference. The link is below, but if it doesn't work, go to 10x10act.org.
