Day 2584: International Day of the Girl Child

“Courage, sacrifice, determination, commitment, toughness, heart, talent, guts. That’s what little girls are made of.” – Bethany Hamilton
 

It’s 11: 45  AM on day 2584 of my journey towards independence and I managed to pray,  read  Zechariah 7:9-10 and promote my 50 New Feet Campaign benefiting MiracleFeet – A HUGE thanks to Maya Papu who donated $250 which brings the total raised to  $4 287 only $8 213 more to raise by June 17, 2018 to help 50 kids with clubfoot.

 

Today is the International Day of the Girl Child and while admittedly there are challenges to being a girl in this day and age it’s also a period of time in which girls have more opportunities than they’ve ever had before and for those who don’t it is our duty as humanity to create and unlock those opportunities.

It’s 12 : 17 PM on day 1124 of my journey towards independence and I’ve managed to pray, brush my teeth,  read 1 Kings 3, feed myself boiled egg and Bran Flakes for breakfast,    publish my Disability of the Day feature, change my t-shirt, stretch my hamstrings, practice sitting up straight to strengthen my core muscles and  tweet and Facebook about my campaign -$1020 raised 4 days to go let’s see how much more will be raised I have faith that there are people out there who care that 30 million people are enslaved in the world today.
