Great read. It clarifies the social challenges of our time and addresses the need of the deep human yearning to make a difference. You don't have to read Half the Sky first but read both if you want something truly insightful.

I thought a lot yesterday (Father's Day) about the men I have met along my journey in Tanzania. I met men that have let their daughters know that they are a priority and that their education and safety is equally as important. These men are helping their daughters end the cycle of oppression. These men are giving their daughters a chance to make change in a country that still greatly lacks basic human needs. If more fathers encourage and ensure their daughters learn, and live a safe and productive life then positive change will continue!!

I'm amazed at the amount of work accomplished in the Simbasha dispensary in such a short period of time. When a village works together, so much can be achieved!

Why is International Women's Day Needed...here's one reason. We need International Women’s Day to remind ourselves that there are hundreds of millions of boys and girls are growing up in a world where violence against women is acceptable, female subjugation the norm. If lucky enough to celebrate our own journey, do so and continue to fight for those still oppressed because of gender.
