On Wednesday night (International Women’s Day), Care International hosted a movie showing in select theatres about women’s issues around the globe. We had some time before John was going to be home to let us in, so Taylor and I went to watch the show. More importantly, SHH spends most of its resources working with girls (and women) in Honduras through our scholarships, micro-lending and other programs. We knew the showing would give us valuable insight about our field. The showing revolved around a great book I recently read called Half the Sky, written by Nicholas D. Kristof and Sheryl WuDunn. The entire book is about turning oppression into opportunities for women worldwide. It’s one of the best books I have ever read and was recommended by my long time mentor, Greg Stanton. He is constantly telling me about great books to read. I highly recommend reading this new book for everyone to learn about the power behind the “Girl Effect.”
