I am not sure if it is my hormones or really just that becoming a mother has really had a profound impact on me. Of course it has but even more today as I look at my baby girl, and she at only 10 months has a personality, a voice and an opinion. Looking at her today, makes me think about all the other girls in the world and how they are at her age.
All these girls born, each day are like my daughter, but so many of them will not enjoy the happiness that I hope she will. While I hope that my daughter Ella will grow up healthy and strong, with the opportunity to choose her education, her job and who to marry and when. So many girls do not. I am blogging today to show my support for The Girl Effect as we try to make a difference.
The Girl Effect has had a strong impact on me today, and I am happy that I managed to hear about this camapign today. Please support the girls, so they can support themselves, their families, their sisters, brothers etc.
