Thank you all for educating girls.
We are close to our goal of $3500 so very excited and hopeful.
We recently held a focus group of Turkish girls aged 14-17 and asked them about the biggest barriers they felt to success. They spoke of class distinctions and urban-rural differences. We were amazed how acutely they saw these are barriers to opportunities.
As we dug deeper we found that opportunties were everywhere but that in certain areas of Turkey, girls were less encouraged to seize those opportunities and certainly not encouraged to work hard for them. Motivational training and opening their hearts and minds to unlimited dreams and possibiities has emerged as a major important area we are including in our training.
Every girl deserves a change to not only succeed but to be told she has the right to want to soar. Thank you for being part of this.
