Labour Day is around the corner and I’m chomping at the bit to get back to school.  I love brand new school supplies, fall outfits, seeing old friends again and sharing stories of summer!  At Because I am a Girl we talk a lot about how education makes a difference in the lives of girls, but sometimes that’s hard to imagine when you’re bogged down with homework, deadlines, and lunchtime drama.

This video does an awesome job of showing how education can make a big difference in the lives of girls as it traces the lives of two girls born on the same day, one that has access to school and the other that doesn’t.  Its short and good, so check it out!

We know that by investing in girls and their education, we can help to eliminate poverty and create a brighter future for the world.

There are so many ways for you to get involved in supporting girls!
