Fast forward through her life for the awful ending. Then, do it again to see something amazing.

[sheshe2]

Right now, 62 million girls across the globe are not in school. These girls are our future doctors, teachers, and entrepreneurs – they are the dreamers and visionaries who could change the world as we know it if they just had the chance to get the education they need.

This issue is personal for me, because I see myself in these girls. I see my daughters in these girls. And I refuse to just sit back and accept the barriers that keep them from realizing their boundless promise.

That is why I am thrilled to announce that we're expanding our efforts to “Let Girls Learn" with a new, community-focused girls' education initiative across the globe. Through this new effort, we'll be collaborating with the Peace Corps to support hundreds of new community projects – from building school libraries to creating girls' technology camps - to help girls go to school and stay in school.

But while our focus is international, I also want to be very clear that for me, this work isn't just about improving girls' education abroad. It's also about reminding our young people of the hunger they should be feeling for their own education here at home. I want kids here in the U.S. to be inspired by girls worldwide who are making such sacrifices and overcoming such great obstacles to get their education.

Look at these faces!



They are the faces of girls who are beautiful inside and out. They are the faces of girls who deserve a future worth looking forward to, not one they'll dread.

They have dreams. They love to have fun.
They like to learn. They want to grow up and have options.

But because those faces belong to girls, the future could be bleak for them.

1. Kick and recommend!

Educating women and providing them with the tools to grow, learn, and develop is the best way to stop poverty. It's been shown time and time again. My mom lived overseas when she was growing up, and it's something she made sure I knew.

Also, that heart braid was adorable. This was an excellently produced video.

3. Amazing video!

Thanks for posting! It's so inspiring. Women's education and empowerment are so important for a nation's peace and prosperity. Just look at countries where women have the most rights and their standard of living and those where women have few rights at all. It's pretty obvious.

Damn, when she was sucked out of that classroom. Nails scraping the desk, whooosh out the window. Gone. Sigh, thank you for watching smirkymonkey.

For the girls and the women that they can be.
