The Girl Effect Video!Get Inspired! (including a poem i wrote)


WE CAN HELP HER (AND OTHER GIRLS LIKE HER) BECOME
ALL THAT THEY WANT TO BE!
GIVE THAT A CHANCE TO BELIEVE, TO HAVE DREAMS AND
TO LEAD DIGNIFIED LIVES!



A Poem in Their Honour and Support!

The Girl Effect

Put it in motion
stir it for action
cause an equation
that will shake the foundations
of all preconceptions, all dogmas, traditions
and will release from prison these beautiful hidden treasures!

Each girl is precious, each one is a star
light the flame in her life
give her freedom at once!
She'll sparkle and shine
She'll be glorious, a fruitful vine!

YOU HAVE THE POWER TO SET HER FREE

Free from all the unwanted
marriage, labour, abuse
Free to make her own choices
to depend on herself
Free to control her destiny too
free to embrace life that is good!
free to plan, to save, to grow and develop
to explore her talents to the full
Free to dream, to aspire
to play and to learn
Free to be a happy child,
free to become a dignified woman
able to give birth and survive
take care of her child
free to laugh and to love...
to be a citizen ...
a mother a wife.

Press the button, stir the wheel
you have the tools, she needs to succeed
you can give her a chance,
she'll take it, you'll see
you can lend her a hand
she won't disappoint u,
believe me!

A child, a girl, a woman, a human at last
will you light the flame of her future?
will you give her a chance?
then, as if by some magic
you'll see multiplied
this equation growing bigger
including many lives

she began as a girl,
who received education
then she found a job better
and provided for her old parents
she planned her family and brought to life
children that she cared for
and sent to school at last

and here the magic is unfolding
one life put in place
changes so many around it,
and the poverty cycle is
broken alas!
oh, invest in this girl!
bring the magic to life!
change the course of history,
bring Justice the victory!

INVEST IN A GIRL!
SET THE MAGIC OF THE GIRL EFFECT IN MOTION!


Addis wanted a CHANCE to CHOOSE how to live! She wanted to KNOW!Now She is POWERFUL!..so is her son!




Shumi is POWERFUL!She is COURAGEOUS!She was given a chance..then..
the Girl Effect began!




Sanchita took a small loan...which changed her life and the life of her family...
it doesn't take much to start the Girl Effect!Support it!!!
An investment in one girl's future...will reap a rich harvest!!!




THE GIRL EFFECT!
THE FUTURE IS IN OUR HANDS!
WE CAN MOLD IT TODAY!
WE HAVE THE TOOLS,
THE KNOWLEDGE
THE RESOURCES...
THE QUESTION IS
DO WE HAVE THE COURAGE?
THE WILL?
THE PASSION...?
TO TAKE A STAND
TO BREAK THE SILENCE
TO MAKE A STEP

TO PLANT THE SEEDS...
AND REAP THE HARVEST!!!

(the poem is in the honour & support of the Girl Effect movement and all girls and women around the world)!
p.s. i will include a ppt with recitation of the poem soon! upcoming!
