A group of like-minded people with good intentions can make a huge difference – that’s what I keep realizing.
It’s 12 : 16 PM on day 1754 of my journey towards independence and I’ve managed to brush my teeth, pray, read Zachariah 4, publish my Disability of the Day feature, learn one new thing – Sea turtles rarely leave the ocean after hatching, except to nest. Their legs have evolved into paddlelike flippers, which propel them through the water. They swim away and direct their shells toward attackers for protection, instead of retreating into their shells. – feed myself Chapati and egg curry for breakfast and promote my Educate Generations campaign – $3 235 raised so far (thanks everyone 🙂 ).
Today marks the nine month anniversary of my Educate Generations campaign benefiting the Malala Fund so far fifty-eight people (including me and my parents) have made ninety-one donations totalling $3 235 I continue to be humbled by the world’s support.
