I started this blog with the URL which reads 'My Watan' meaning My Nation. I used this space mainly to write about the major problems that (still)plague India and discuss ideas/solutions for the same. Somewhere down the line, the focus in this blog became Girls; Young girls and most importantly, the role Education plays in shaping the life of these Young girls. I believe that educating young girls in India is one of the most important solutions to overcome many of the hurdles we are facing as a developing country today! Dont believe me? Watch the videos, read the poems and my personal experiences!

Hope is a good thing, may be the best of things!

The Girl Effect

Thinking about my last two posts,I feel there has been quite a bit of Girl power happening on mah blog.... And the third one is about a GIRL too , ha ha :) :)
Reminds me of a Quote from the 'Alchemist'-
"Everything that happens once can never happen again. but everything that happens twice will surely happen a third time"...

Guess its true!!!! Here goes...

Hmmm... A journey of a million miles begins with one step.

If I remember correct, Adam Gilchrist has sponsored for a girl child. I read abt it in a newsletter from one of the centers we donate to. So has Steve Waugh (in Kolkata) I guess when an Aussie or any foreigner can track and sponsor young Indian girls and kids in general, we can give it a good thought too.

Easier said than done. A bigger truth.

Good post milady... Peace.

Be well.

And yeah... :) Alchemist fan here! Duhh!

@ kartz

Thanks for sharing the info buddy!!!
I had also sponsored for kids through the organization Child relief and You while I was in college.
I actually donated the money I got as gifts on my birthday from friends and relatives. Wanted to put it to some good use!!!! :)
I hope we can all do some small gestures for the kids(girl child in particular) which will help us make this world a more beautiful place.
