If you answered yes to either or both of these questions...
Then come to the FIRST She's the First*{Dartmouth} meeting of the term!
When: TODAY Thursday, 9/13 @ 9pm
Where: Baker 152
Why: Learn about how you can help sponsor girls' education in Uganda and raise awareness of the global issue of gender inequality with regards to access to education.
Last term, STF*{Dartmouth} raised over $1,000 with the "Be the First 5K Run/Walk" to sponsor 3 girls at the Arlington Academy of Hope in Uganda. This term, we hope to add to that achievement and sponsor another girl through the National Tie-Dye Cupcake Bake-off this November. We also want to spread the word about the importance of girls' education through creative awareness events, so come ready to brainstorm ideas!

She's the First is a national non-profit organization that sponsors girls' education in countries where girls are not usually afforded the opportunity to go to school (because of societal norms, government restrictions, etc). According to their website, "While there are many equally deserving boys around the world in dire need of an education, we’ve chosen to focus our efforts on girls, since statistically, they’ve faced greater disadvantages." The effects of educating girls range from improvements in the economy, decreased maternal mortality, and benefits for women's personal rights. The national organization sponsors girls worldwide, in Haiti, Mexico, Ethiopia, Kenya, Uganda, Nepal, India, and other countries, and is constantly looking to expand its efforts.
