I'm always on and on about how awesome my friends are, and each time they support me with proof. In Good Friday #194, I told you about my friend LJ who was raising money for breast cancer and doing a 60-mile walk for the cure as well. Last week, I told you about my friend Brent, who's also hosting a raffle in support of his community service projects.
This week, my friend Armi is raising money for a cause that will just tug at your heart strings. The Girl Child Network, is a Zimbabwe-based organization that empowers girls who have been sexually abused due to a myth passed on by the traditional elders that if a man has sex with a virgin, he can cure himself of AIDS. They focus on self-empowerment through education and advocacy.
My friend Armi was moved to create a fundraiser after seeing a segment on Hulu about a young girl named Runyararo. She's committed to raising $6000 in donations for GCN, and is hosting a fundraiser on October 26th to meet her goal.
So if you're in NYC on October 26th, I hope I will see you there. Click here for the fundraising flyer, and help empower a girl.
Be excellent, and be the change you wish to see in the world.
