The Girl Effect

INCIDENT:
My friend recently posted a video about "The Girl Effect" on her blog, Tizzylish. And as I read more about it, I started to get all teary-eyed. So what is the Girl Effect?

The Girl Effect, n. The powerful social and economic change brought about when girls have the opportunity to participate in their society.

It is an almost simple concept... to give opportunities to those who are willing and capable but don't have the means. Don't we all deserve the opportunity to reach our full potential?



MORAL:
With the state of the world, it is an almost overwhelming concept to think that positive change is possible. But occasionally we get a glimmer of hope. Like minded people who are committed and driven by the promise of tomorrow remind us that we are not alone. It is not just one person working towards a better world. It is all of us. We just have to pick up our flags and fly them high so that we can find each other. That is what a good organization can do... they can organize those who want to help make things better. Together we can foster change.
