YOU ARE LUCKY!
YOU HAVE A FUTURE
OTHER GIRLS DON'T
IIIn countries like Afghanistan....
and
Ethiopia
THEY LIVE IN
POVERTY FILTH
THEY HAVE HIV AIDS
AND
THEY
HAVE
NO
HOPE
THINK......
THIS IS AGIRL..
Who lives in poverty
She has........
Nothing
To her name but the clothes on her back.
oShe will Marry......
Before she is ready
In Fact.....
One out of seven Girls in the developing world
marry before age 15
Can you imagine....
If that girl were
you
Or someone you knew....
What would you do?
?
You have one very
simple option
So incredibly simple.....
that
It's astounding we haven't all already
taken action
Are you ready to know it?
This is it: RAISE AWARENESS
Tell everyone you know
About what's happening
Tell them spread the word
And pretty soon..........
You've got a
snowball effect
Keeping up?
Now let's go back to the girl in poverty.
And let's pretend for a minute we give her some
money
So that she can buy a
cow.
And then let's pretend her cow becomes a herd of cows.
And she makes Money $
tTo Support her family
And she will invest
90% of her money in her family
And then she can get a good
Education
And once she has the
Knowledge...
She can form
Ideas...
That the men of her village will come to respect.
And they will put her ideas into action.
Over time the whole village will
benifit from this one girl's ideas!
And
Her
Whole
Life
Will
CHANGE
Are you liking this Idea?
Now take this process
And think for a moment what would happen...
if you could do this for the 6 million girls in
the whole world
So if you like what you see
Do what you can
Raise awareness
And create a spark that will build into a roaring fire
that will burn away the injustice forever.
This is called the Girl Effect
Think
6 Million Girls...
6 Million chances for a better world
I'd take that chance, wouldn't you? ;)
I It's not a big issue.... just the future of this world
