Girl Rising (2013)

Girl Rising (2013)

A thought-provoking and dynamic film dealing with inequalities of education towards young girls. Directed by Richard Robbins, the film illustrates the lives of 9 young girls who face inequality and social constraints but strive for an education that can help break down the barriers built around them. Watch the film and take part in the movement for education for girls in countries where they are oppressed and hidden from society. It is a global movement and one where people need to participate in the discussions and educate themselves with the issue surrounding around 66 million girls in the world.

Food For the Mind

i reason, Earth is short,
and anguish----absolute,
and many hurt,
but, what of that?
i reason, we could die----
the best Vitality
cannot excel Decay,
but, what of that?
i reason, that in Heaven
someohw, it will be even,
some new Equation, given---
but, what of that?
