People say that we learn from the experiences of others and that’s true and important because otherwise science wouldn’t have been able to make the progress it made …. If everyone would have been starting from scratch but the thing that makes it successful is the experiences of the generation previous to ours and this is the theory of life even that no matter where and why we are always able to understand or make better decisions by others experiences.
Keeping this thing in mind we decided to make some of EAG scholars from different countries to be a part of our new trainings, not just so they could learn , also just so others could learn more from them …
And we are excited to share that we were not wrong and this thing worked out.. as we mentioned before that we had a training in Nigeria and we decided to bring some of our EAG scholars from Pakistan that was a very right decision because the impact was a different level completely which we wouldn’t have been able to achieve without those Pakistani scholars as they were able to build a connection with the scholars in Nigeria and made them believe that no matter where you live, what cast you have, what color is your skin, you are just like those million girls out there from different countries and this is the mission of EAG to connect all girls together to make them understand that each one of us is equal and this is why we want to bring two girls to our training to Lahore so we could success more and more in our mission of connecting girls. But we wont be able to do it without your help and that’s why we ask all of you to help us in doing whats right.
THE KEY TO GETTING THINS DONE IS CONNECTING PEOPLE.
OFTEN I FIND THAT THE RIGHT PEOPLE ARE ALREADY IN PLACE,
THEY JUST NEED TO FOCUS ON THE GREATERGOOD TO BE ENERGIZED,
UTILIZED AND ENCOURAGED TO WORK TOGETHER.

We, at Educate a Girl believe in connecting people, that’s why its one of our major goal to connect all the ##EAGScholars from different countries and cities together. We believe that this will lead to form a bond between all the girls which will make them a community, always ready to help each other.
We are living in an era where we need to be more and more informed about the happenings around the world because that’s the best way to learn and learning is the key to success. There ae many things that happened when you connect with different people because you also connect with their culture and culture is the widening of the mind and of the spirit.
Keeping the above things in mind we are working more and more towards connecting these girls but sometimes its not easy as this time we are planning to fly 2 #EAGScholars from Karachi to Lahore so there is a process from their ticketing to their stay and all and for which we need help from our wonderful donors so we could connect more and more girls.
CONNECTING IS THE ABILITY TO IDENTIFY WITH PEOPLE AND RELATE TO THEM IN A WAY THAT INCREASES YOUR INFLUENCE WITH THEM. – John C. Maxwell
Educate a Girl has a mission to Educate, Empower and Wire 1000 Girls in 1000 Cities globally; The Million Pledge for less educated and underprivileged women to have a transformational impact on the world. To foster an equivalent and prosperous society that encourages girls to achieve their full economic potential by harnessing their knowledge and skills to the growth and development of their countries and world as a whole.
Above thing becomes more and more easy when all these girls become a part of a community and that’s exactly what we aim with Educate a Girl that Million girls should be a part of this community and should be available to help each other because girls and women couldn’t achieve their full economic potential until and unless they help each other.
This is why exactly when we launched in Nigeria and had our Educate a Girl session in Lagos – Nigeria, we flew two of our EAG Scholars to Lagos from Karachi – Pakistan just to give these two girls a new life changing experience as well as to help Nigerian girls to build a connection with Pakistani girls. From that experience we actually learned that no matter how much we say that social media has bring people closer but still the connection that is built after meeting the person face to face is always special.
That’s why even after 2 years of our Nigerian session, our EAG Nigeria scholars are still in touch and they are somehow connected with the EAG Scholars in Pakistan and somehow its mesmerizing to see the bond that these girls share because even without meeting each other, they are a part of each other’s lives and that’s what exactly what we, as team EAG wants.
Now as we are moving in another city of Pakistan: Lahore, we want to take two of our EAGKarachi scholars which we selected after a long selection process and interviews, just because we wanted to make sure that they have that passion to connect girls with each other and to work for the betterment of our society and understands how important it is for girls to be empowered.
Although the selection process is done but we want to make sure that their traveling expenses should be covered properly and want to make it a life changing experience for them for which we need help from our wonderful donors like you all so these girls could go to Lahore and study and connect to the Lahori girls and connect them to EAGKarachi scholars.
Together, we are Transforming Lives!
