Samra and Nick are the perfect proof that there is still good people
willing to volunteer to make this world a better place.
I met both of them on the Yonge Street, and they asked me if they can
talk to me.. They are spreading awareness for Because I’m a girl.
Because I am a Girl is Plan’s
global initiative to break the cycle of poverty and gender discrimination. Plan
is a global movement for change, mobilizing millions of people around the world
to support social justice for children in developing countries, and especially supporting
and providing the education and skills for girls who need to move themselves
from poverty to opportunity.
Girls in the poorest
regions of the world are among the most disadvantaged people on the planet.
They are more likely to live in poverty, more likely to be denied access to
education, and more likely to be malnourished, simply because they are young
and female.
And yet, studies show
that when you invest in girls, the whole world benefits. If a girl has enough
to eat, a safe environment, and an education, she’ll work to raise the standard
of living for herself, her family and her community. And in time, she can even
strengthen the economy of her entire country.
Learn more about the unique barriers girls face around the world, but
also about the incredible power they have to change the future for everyone.
We can make a difference here in Canada! By helping Plan Canada’s Because
I am a Girl initiative to support girls’ rights in the developing world and
help break the cycle of poverty.
You can support by sponsoring a girl a monthly sponsorship, or by a one
time donation, by buying any of Because I’m a girl merchandises and gifts,
or through the different fundraising activities you can create.
And you can simply support and spread the word on different social media
channels and following the Because I’m a girl Facebook page.
I promised Samra and Nick that I will spread awareness through my blog,
and Saluted their efforts and energy.
