Celebrating the International Day of The Girl-Child


Yesterday, October 11, was the International Day of the Girl-Child.

We celebrate all girls around the globe. We seize this opportunity to congratulate 17 year old Malala Yousafzai on her recent Nobel Peace prize win, thus making her the youngest person ever to be bestowed with such honor.

We salute the courage of Pakistani --born Malala, who  against all odds is pursuing her dream of becoming educated. She is not only pursuing her dreams, she has now become an activist for other girls who are not as fortunate as herself to achieve their own dreams. Thank you Malala!


 


We urge everyone to spare a thought and prayer for the more than 200 Nigerian girls abducted from their school by the dreaded terrorist group, Boko Haram, since the month of April. We pray for their safety and return to their families. These innocent girls were kidnapped just because Boko Haram is averse to education particularly female education.






Let us all join hands to protect young girls around the world particularly in Africa.

Please support our girl-child initiatives. Every girl deserves to be educated. Every girl deserves to be given an opportunity to succeed in life. STOP THE DISCRIMINATION NOW!
