Join me in helping Malala Yousufzai

You may have heard the news about Malala Yousufzai, a 15 yr old Pakistani girl outspoken about girls' education and atrocities committed by the Taliban. 2 weeks ago she was shot in the head and neck on a school bus with two of her schoolmates. Amazingly all three survived the attack. A fundraising account has been set up on Indiegogo to help Malala's family with medical expenses. You can give any amount you like, as little or as much as you can afford. I have. The link is here:

If you choose to help this brave, young girl, you are doing more than helping just her. You are helping girls everywhere who need an education. Why focus on girls' education and not boys? There are two reasons: (1) girls are often deprived of education where boys are not, and (2) educating girls produces exceptional benefits for today's generation and the generations to come.

Educated girls tend to marry later and have healthier children that are more likely to survive. The children of educated girls and women are generally better nourished and educated themselves. The educated girl becomes a woman who is healthier, a better contributor to her community, and better paid in the workplace. She is more likely to protect herself against HIV/AIDS and to protect those she loves and cares for. She is much more able and likely to assume an active role in social, economic and political decision-making. She is more likely to lead and will be a better leader.

Join me in helping Malala. Her cause is noble and she has suffered for it. Be part of her recovery. Let her know people around the world care about what she has already accomplished with her life. Help her forward. Every bit helps. Friends and family have already raised over $38,000. The goal is $100,000. Every donation, no matter the size, is a show of support and that is profoundly significant to her and the world. Give what you can to this brave 15 year old's family to help with her recovery:
