Buy more shoes & help a girl go back to school!
Admit it! You're into shoes! We've got a guilt free solution to indulge yourself this month: the next time you buy a pair of shoes, pledge to provide one for a girl in Africa. A sturdy pair of shoes helps protect her feet on long walks to and from school. Girls in rural Africa walk as much as 10
Send a child back to school
For a girl growing up poor in Africa, a single item can stand between her and an education. It might be a pair of shoes. It might be a notebook and a few pencils. Or it might be that, struggle as they might, her parents simply cannot raise enough money for school fees. As children around the
Throw down the gauntlet!
A whole month in a plain black dress? Janna started the Uniform Project Rochester and raised $600+ for girls' education! (See ow.ly/a55Tn ) What would you be willing to do every day for a month to raise awareness and funds for girls' education in Africa?

In Africa most of our girls leave schools at tender age more so in my native village of Kang'u in Zombo district formally part of Nebbi.Its not good to hear it but one just keeps mum. I think out there with zero tolerance to corruption in Africa probably funds wasted could be channeled to education especially girls education. We shall continue to share with friends until we get a solution.But am convinced that creating a reading culture, enhanced knowledge mathematics and early introduction...
…In Africa most of our girls leave schools at tender age more so in my native village of Kang'u in Zombo district formally part of Nebbi.Its not good to hear it but one just keeps mum. I think out there with zero tolerance to corruption in Africa probably funds wasted could be channeled to education especially girls education. We shall continue to share with friends until we get a solution.But am convinced that creating a reading culture, enhanced knowledge mathematics and early introduction of girls in creative science maintain them in school up to 21is a good proposal. Likewise to boys.I intend to do this in AFORDA.
education is the best help for poor countries.
we should all help where ever able

You lost your children, your daughters...Oh my GOD what happens in this world is crual....Humain being suffer from many things.STOP STOP STOP.
As tragic as this all seems. I do believe therre is purpose behind each souls progression. Hope. A DREAM, each one said the same, similartruth from within. I believe education is critical, these young teens are innocently, cruely robbed of their youthfulness, their education, thus chances to achieve their lives dreams. A chance is all they ask, yet decisions are being made for them. Where's their freewill, On 1 hand they're being led to believe they're old enough to have sex, marry...
…As tragic as this all seems. I do believe therre is purpose behind each souls progression. Hope. A DREAM, each one said the same, similartruth from within. I believe education is critical, these young teens are innocently, cruely robbed of their youthfulness, their education, thus chances to achieve their lives dreams. A chance is all they ask, yet decisions are being made for them. Where's their freewill, On 1 hand they're being led to believe they're old enough to have sex, marry against their will, and give birth, it seems they hassve no say over their lives or their bodies. What god dam right does another human have to demand how another lives their life. I agree their bodies can't be developed enough to bare a child, give birth so young, it's horrendous, and as for their families, are they going along with this because maybe the same happened to them, if so, then it seriously must stop, generations will be living in more poverty, know no education, ill health & desease will follow, and what kind of life does that leave for any future generations, Surely this can be stopped before fatality & death comes to all under 20's. I'm in total support to try & stop this& build a better life & future foir these dear girls & their children. May god bless each one of thgem, and the angels protect their souls & spirits always love & light Vanessa.xxx.
