Oh, my. I hope that you are watching this on CNN. I really hope they repeat this. It's about girls and education in Africa and of course throughout the world.

As women we need to be reminded of of our strength  and power to invoke  change.

You can provide high school scholorships for girls in Malawi thru UNICEF/MSNBC.  $200 will provide tuition, room & board, books, uniform, for a whole year for one girl!

Edited to add:   Malawi is the poorest country in Africa.    Only 9% of families can afford to send their girls to high school.  di

Google the Kind Fund to provide desks and education for girls.

I think the most impowering thing that women can do is stop thinking "as women" but as people who have power and strength.  I think the sooner we get over our differences of gender, race, or nationality as see one another as individuals and not divisive groups, change will come fast for the world. 

We all have power to invoke change--in ourselves.

So well said and I completely agree with you.  Also, let's help our people here in America.

I think the sooner we understand and acknowledge our differences of gender, race and nationality and the uneven playing field existing as a result, the faster change will come for the world. Denial doesn't empower.  Quite the opposite.
