Today is International , so I’m taking some time to celebrate the perseverance of students and teachers around the world. Over the past year, the pandemic has presented so many new obstacles to education—some students have faced school closures, others have had to find a way to set up remote learning through radio or cell services. It’s a sad truth that girls are especially vulnerable during times of crisis: Early studies predict that, around the world, 20 million girls of secondary school age may never return to school because of the pandemic. We can’t let that happen. Thankfully, organizations in the Girls Opportunity Alliance community are doing everything they can to keep girls in school. The Harpswell Foundation has provided tech support for girls in Cambodia so they can learn online, while Women's Global Education Project has helped deliver food and essential supplies to girls and their families in Kenya. And, now, we have two new projects in Rwanda and Ghana that we’re supporting through our Girls Opportunity Alliance Fund. This work could not be more important, and I hope you’ll show them your support: gofundme.com/girlsopportunityalliance
