Information Girls AIDS in Africa - GlobalGiving - 0 views

    I'm learning more about empowering women. I read an article a couple minutes ago on how women get empowered. One way that women get empowered is sports can make a difference, consisting of improving one's self esteem and self-control and so much more. I was looking for organizations that help women get empowered and this one caught my attention because it was what i was looking for. An organization that help empower women through sports. I honestly think that it is a wonderful thing that we can all be apart of. "The project will educate and empower 37 action teams and allow them to increase their capacity to make independent decisions and reduce vulnerability so as to produce self assertiveness and liberated women through sport. " The quote i chose here is basically introducing the project to the public and hopefully donator. This reminded me of the another article that i read a couple of minutes ago. You can see what i wrote by looking at my blog. The title of it is Learn 6. I think this is very nice. Hopefully this organization will get a lot of donations including yours. I donated already. It's for a good cause and it can make a difference. Can you ? http://www.globalgiving.org/projects/information-girls-aids-in-africa Make a difference.

UNICEF - Afghanistan - Promoting girls' empowerment through sport in Afghanistan - 1 views

  •  
    I'm learning more about Girls/ Womens empowerment right now, and in particular what I'm wondering about this is how can you empower women or girls. I was researching this question online i came across this article. It caught my attention because the title is 'Promoting girls' empowerment through sport in Afghanistan.' It caught my attention because the title pretty much speaks for it's self. Girls can in fact be empowered through sports! This sparked my interest and so i began reading it. "Participation in sport is a critical part of any child's physical and social development, especially for girls. Sport can help to improve their self-esteem and self-awareness," says Dr. Atiqullah Amiri of UNICEF's Outpost Bamyan. "Sport teaches integrity and self-management by setting objective standards that girls can work to achieve." The quote I chose here is basically saying that sports can be a very big part of someones life. Sports can improve your overall self in many different ways. The ways in which are spoke about here is helping girls. It can improve their self-esteem and self-awareness, self-management and i believe it can build up great skills that can be put to use in everyday lives. Skills like team work, responsibility and so on. I think this is an very important fact. Sports can in fact help girls. It makes me wonder how powerful something can be, and how it can change something or someone like a sport. Like what is spoken about in this article.

Mapping Main Street » A Collaborative Documentary Media Project - 2 views

    What i noticed most about "searching main street.org" Is that it's funny how i've seen this man before. I did wonder what happened to him. But then i just forgot about him. This video caught my attention and answered my past questions. When the podcast said " He has a broken heart cause his mother died " I was surprized because he always seemed to look very happy and calm. They say after his mother passed away he completely changed. Another part that i was shocked by was "He has throat cancer , Spine cance , Lung cancer and a brain tumor ." It shocked me because again he always looked like a happy man. I would have never guessed that he was going through the conditions that he was going through. He had a very bold and outstanding fashion sense. He got his name from the way he dressed. FLUSHING Mainst PIMP. He dressed like a pimp. I kind of miss seeing him around i remember him catching everyone's attention . No one ever looked like him. He didn't look ordinary but rather unique. He believed the way you dress is important. He believed he got respect by the way he dressed. I never saw him in the same outfit not once. And i used to see him since i was 9. Unfortunately he died. I enjoyed the podcast and hope to see more of your work. Thank you for answering my long lost question.
