I Am Powerful

At the conference I attended this week a representative from one of the largest organizations fighting to rid the world of poverty came to tell us about what they do and how our product has made them successful. I had heard of Care before, but since most of my philanthropic support is focused on breast cancer research I didn't know exactly what they did. The representative from Care showed us one of the videos from their I Am Powerful campaign.



It brought tears to my eyes. When I looked around the room I saw other women dabbing at the corners of their eyes and sitting up a little taller. I thought about the post I wrote last week and what a waste of time it is to brood over people we cannot change and how we can instead use that energy to actually making a change in the world. As women we should be working together to making this world a better place in any way we can.

I ask you to take some time to look over the statics of poverty and how it affects women on the Care website. You will be disgusted thinking about what you and your children take for granted every day when there are families out there that don't even have clean water, food, shelter or education. As a woman you can make a difference. Click here to find out more.
