Last October I was part of a group that planned an event for young girls in our community called "Girls, Giggles & Goals". We looked at various issues throughout the day including self esteem, dreams, local and global involvement. I talked about my global experiences and showed the following video:
We met for a follow-up today. Part of the experience in October included writing letters to girls in an Afghan orphanage and today they received reply letters, which was really neat. The Afghan girls talked about what their favorite colors were, what they were learning in school, dreams of becoming doctors and lawyers. Some of them provided email addresses, so hopefully our girls will be able to stay in touch. It all starts with a girl. . .
