Thanks so very much for supporting efforts to bring the film Girl Rising to Maine!
Some
people have asked - "Why?"... My simplest answer is...spreading the
word is these girls' best chance at winning their struggle for an
education. Repeatedly, studies have shown that the best way to bring
people out of poverty, increase their chances and their children's
chances of having healthier, safer lives is to educate girls.When you support a girl's education, you
decrease the chances that she will become a victim of domestic violence,
human trafficking, health complications due to early and repeated
pregnancies and so many more tragic scenarios. The benefits that are
harder to quantify? Self esteem. Independence. Fullfillment.
From 7pm EST til 12 am EST we will post 10 auction
items - some FABULOUS deals in here folks! Thank you for your support of
Girl Rising!
F&Qs:
* How do I bid? Just pop your bid in the comment section and check back to see if you've been outbid! Comments back and forth raise the bids and help raise funds! Good Luck and Have Fun!

don't raise enough funds for the screening?...Your auction item will (of
course!) still be honored and all auction proceeds will go to the 10x10

How far in Maine are you? I am in Manchester, NH and could come up depending on where and when if I win something :)
ReplyDeleteWe are pretty far from the NH border, but thank you so much for the idea! Lots of other items will be up for bidding though that don't require pick up - we will ship to you! Thanks again :)
