International Women's Day

Happy International Women's Day!

To all of my beautiful readers

I was volunteering today for a Fair Trade store and celebrating International women's day. I didn't know that international women's day was even existed until 2 years ago. How unfortunate is that? right?
I found a flier from Because I am a Girl . ca and thought it's very worth sharing with you.

Because I am a girl

Because I am a girl
I watch my brothers go to school while I stay home
Because I am a girl
I eat if there's food left over when everyone is done
Because I am a girl
I am the poorest of the poor

And yet...

Because I am a girl
I will share what I know
Because I am a girl
I am the heart of my community
Because I am a girl
I will pull my family out of poverty if you give me the chance
Because I am a girl
I will take what you invest in me and uplift everyone around me
Because I am a girl
I can change the world

This picture is me 3 years ago. I didn't have any other photos of me wearing traditional formal Japanese dress, so ... it's old, but there you go! I'm celebrating "international women's day" with you :D hehe

How was your international women's day?

Talk to you later!

smile for gorgeous & strong women in the world
