“No matter what accomplishments you make, somebody helped you.” —Althea Gibson

 

It’s 12 : 58 PM on day 1573 of my journey towards independence and I’ve managed to  brush my teeth,  pray,  read Isaiah 58, publish my Disability of the Day feature, learn one new thing – did you know that lions may sleep up to 20 hours a day –  promote my Educate Generations campaign–  Meg Guegan who has donated once before donated $20 yesterday  (thank you Meg your ongoing support means a lot to me :)  – which brings my total raised to $1 335  only $1 165 more to raise to reach goal  – feed myself egg curry with bread for breakfast and go visiting.

 

Today marks the three month anniversary of my Educate Generations campaign benefiting the Malala Fund so far thirty people (including me) have made thirty-five donations totaling $1 335  I continue to be grateful for and humbled by the world’s support.

Day 1481: Educate Generations – My Campaign for the Malala Fund

“Education is the most powerful weapon which you can use to change the world.” – Nelson Mandela

 

It’s 2 : 07 PM on day 1481 of my journey towards independence and I’ve managed to brush my teeth, go back to bed, pray, read Proverbs 19,     set up my Educate Generations fundraising page for the Malala Fund, make a donation to my Educate Generations campaign – I donated $100 hopefully others will follow in my footsteps – create the Educate Generations campaign and upload it to YouTube (watch it at the bottom of this post) – while making the video I realized my voice will never be completely clear and that my body will never be completely still and I was ok with that because that’s me 🙂 –  publish my Disability of the Day feature  and promote my campaign – still on $100.

 

This morning I started Educate Generations – a fundraising campaign benefiting the Malala Fund, an organization that empowers girls through education to achieve their potential and be agents of positive change in their communities – because I believe that when you educate a girl you educate generations my goal is to raise $2 500 in 12 months. For more information about Educate Generations or to make a donation please visit  and use #EducateGenerations when tweeting about this campaign.
