Gaia!
If you can think of even one reason to answer the question in the subject line, now's the time.
This is important.
Last week, we sent out a newsletter about one sort of schooling. This week's is about another—and one far, far more critical. This is about providing education to those who would otherwise go without.
Around the world, millions of girls in the world's poorest countries don't have the option to attend school—even though a basic education is often all that's needed to spare them a life of abject poverty.
By taking a minute to voice your support for the "Education for All Act," you can help make achieving universal primary education a goal for US foreign policy. How amazing is that?
Please join us. It'll take just a second to
send a note of support, and just a second to make a difference in the lives of millions of girls, giving them the tools to support themselves, to gain independence, and to be beacons in their own communities. And isn't this what foreign policy should really be focused on?
To peace, and prosperity,
and
education that makes a real difference,
Siona PS. Once you've made your voice heard, please consider passing this message along! It's fall, and school is just starting, so perhaps you know a student, or a teacher (or even a whole school!) that would want to get involved. Perhaps you might want to see whether they want to make this a project for their classroom, to help their students appreciate the luxury of the educations they're getting. Or perhaps you just want to let your own children know...
