Day 1540: Forgoing Christmas Gifts for the Malala Fund

2 Replies

Christmas is about Jesus and giving– that’s my message to the world.

 

It’s 12 : 21 PM on day 1540 of my journey towards independence and I’ve managed to brush my teeth, pray, read Isaiah 25,   publish my Disability of the Day feature, promote my Educate Generations campaign– my friend, Nisa Thomas,  donated $40 today (thank you SO MUCH Nisa 🙂 ) which brings my total raised to $940 only $1560  more to raise to  reach goal – feed myself egg with bread for breakfast and continue promoting my campaign – still $1560 more to raise but I’m working on it I really need more people visiting the page the more people that visit the page the higher the probability of getting more donations crowd-funding is basically telling the story of why you are doing what you’re doing and getting people to pay attention.

 

Yesterday I decided to forgo all my gifts this Christmas and ask my family and friends to donate to my Educate Generations campaign benefiting the Malala Fund instead so if you were planning to get me a gift don’t I am fortunate enough to have everything I need and more rather visit www.classy.org/EducateGenerations and make a donation the Malala Fund will use the money raised to educate girls in Pakistan, Kenya, Nigeria and Jordan (to educate Syrian refugees).

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.
