Teaching Kids!

Throughout my project I have encouraged Girl Scout Leaders, Cub Scout Leaders and other youth group leaders to use my lesson plans to teach kids how one person can change the world.  My hope is that by learning about Malala and children around the world these kids will be inspired to take action on their own, with their families or with their youth groups!
A few groups sent me pictures to share here!

 Activity Day Girls

Webelo Scouts from Troop 863

I would love to see how you are using the lesson plans with your youth groups!

Take Action!

Thanks to the support of my family, friends and community I have raised enough money to 
fill 100 bags with school supplies for impoverished communities and schools in Sigatoka, Fiji!

First I went shopping for supplies





Next I tie-dyed the bags





After they were washed and dried I was ready to start filling the bags with school supplies!





 Here is what each bag contained



I am so excited to get these shipped to the school children in Fiji!

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!
