When my mom came back from a trip to Ecuador in March of 2014 I was fascinated by the different kinds of lives that people led, particularly young girls. My mom came back with amazing stories about her trip and how most girls/woman didn't have an education. I was interested and wanted to know more. Meanwhile, there was a speech contest coming up at my school. Originally, I wanted to do my speech on a trip I went on to New York, but when my mom came back I ended up wanting to do my speech on her trip instead. Writing and delivering the speech really got me thinking about the lack of girls education in some countries and at the end of my speech I asked the audience what are they going to do to make a change in this world. I realized I also had to ask myself the same question.
About two months ago I decided to read the book "I am Malala" because there were some other girls in my class reading it. I couldn't put the book down. I read it over one weekend and wanted to know more. I then watched Malala's father's TedTalk, which led me to the Malala Fund donation link. I immediately wanted to donate. I went to get my charity jar and only had $37. I dontated my money and then told my mom that I wanted to donate more. She decided to take me through a process that had me think about what I am passionate about and had me connect it with my cause. This is what led me to having a Dance-a-thon for Malala.
If you want information about how incredible Malala is and learn about the work she is doing, please click here.
I love to dance and so that is what I am hoping we can all come together to do. On May 23rd, lets dance and have a great time. I am hoping that in return you will make a donation to the Malala Fund so more girls can recieve the gift of education.
