Stand up for Girls, Sept. 22nd

Two thirds of the world's illiterate people are female. Show your support for the education of these vulnerable people by standing up at noon on Thursday, Sept. 22nd, The International Day of the Girl. Take a picture and share with LitWorld.org, a non-profit dedicated to literacy for all. Check out some of the amazing things they've already accomplished in the video below. You can also connect with LitWorld on Facebook.

Join us and Stand up for Girls!

LitWorld

Hello!

I'm excited to share that I will be offering two GirlsClubs this fall. One will be at City Neighbors Charter School, and the other will be at The Village Learning Place, both here in Baltimore City. My clubs are for girls in 3rd-6th grades, and together we will read poetry and stories, listen to music and share our ideas about all of them. We will also make our own journals where we will write our thoughts and dreams. Together we will discover how we connect to the things we read, each other and the world. I can't wait to get to know these girls and hear their ideas!

This program was created by LitWorld. You can learn more about the amazing work we do around the world at: www.litworld.org Are you someone who would like to lead a Boys or GirlsClub? Be in touch!

Best Wishes,
Virginia
