Lesson Plans and Printables

As a part of my gold project I have created age specific lesson plans you can use with Girl Scouts and other youth groups to discuss the importance of education.  They include age appropriate video links and reading suggestions as well as printable activities!

In the United States we are fortunate to have the opportunity to go to school and learn. But, 57 million children all over the world do not have that opportunity.  They wish they could go to school to learn things like me and you.  Education has the power to break cycles or poverty, lead to better health and create stronger communities.

Malala Yousafzai rallies youth to stand up for universal education

After learning about Malala's story I was inspired to join the effort to raise awareness about the importance of education.  Check out this video clip and hear what Malala says!

"One child, one teacher, one book, one pen can change the world"

- Malala Yousafzai

Help me raise $500 dollars to send 100 school bags & supplies to the children at Naidovi Indian Schools in Sigatoka, Fiji.  Donate via the PayPal link or in person.

Thank You!

Going for Gold!

I am an ambassador Girl Scout working on earning my Gold Award.

I want to raise awareness about the benefits of all children receiving an education and inspire others to take action.

About 57 million children around the world are not going to school.

Why is education important?

"Educated women [and children] have a greater chance of escaping poverty, leading healthier and more productive lives, and raising the standard of living for their children, families and communities." (www.voicesofyouth.org)

I have been inspired by the film "Girl Rising" and the book "I am Malala" that ONE person can make a difference.

Take Action with me!  My goal is to create and distribute 100 bags filled with school supplies to impoverished communities and schools in Sigatoka, Fiji.

Sponser a bag for just $5 and make an impact on one child's education!

Follow along as I post more information about the importance of education, share links to what others are doing worldwide and present ways you too can take action!

Let's learn, love, and act together!
