Education changes everything

We all know that true beauty is what lies below the surface of us all. But, lets face it, some people appear doubly blessed – both inside and out. Last week, our program manager (Carrie) and I had the pleasure of meeting this girl, along with multiple others from various locations of our Asia based Vocational School Scholarship program. Over 300 girls will be in this program by the end of next year – a program we hope you’ll join us to expand and impact more girls year on year. This represents a dream coming true for each girl who had all assumed their schooling days were over due largely to poverty or prejudice. This program changes everything – not just for each girl, but for their [mostly] single mom families as well. YES, I have the best job in the world.
