Help Global Sorority to Expand our Reach

Hello, Or should I say Dia dhaoibh!

pronounced (JEE-uh DEE-iv) That's gaelic, meaning “God to you.”

I’m just flying back from Ireland today, which happens to be my home country when I'm not here in the US and it happens to be one of the first places that Global Sorority officially started working with young women and shared their unique experience with the world through the documentary series.

During that first year of Globalal Sorority's commig together we decided to set out on a quest to find out what girls around the world really needed, from- themselves, their communities and us the world, to truly succeed.

If we were going to pour our lives and donate every minute of our free time to this idea of empowering girls through leadership and self-development education, then we needed to find out if this indeed was what they and the world needed.

That first year and first documentary segment captured the lives and voices of girls from Ireland, Italy, Uganda, and India.

Having taught and filmed in many more countries since then, the susutainability of our work comes back to our ability to fundraise for, and share this work with girls and young women here in the U.S.

This fall our lead facilitator and our filmographer will be facing sub zero temperatures as they work with indigenous youth in the Northwest Territories of Canada and later this year we will be working with the women and girls of the Lokota people in north Dekota. This will bring us to the end of our research and filming, but the EOS leadership education component will continue with your help.

We’ve found that nothing works to shift a young woman’s future development and outcome as much as gaining internal leadership skills and the self-realization of her innate value to her community and the world.

So even if some of our girls in the developing world don’t go on to higher education (which many have!) They still have a much better chance of managing and creating a life that’s in alignment with who they are and which respects their value.

Touching base with the communities and young women we have worked with in the past is important to us because long-term progress and continued support is the direction that we are moving towards. 

Checking in with my Irish girls was very rewarding and amazing to see how they have grown. They are rippling out and effecting the world in positive ways. They are now going into law, engineering, speech and language therapy, and the list goes on.

Staying connected with all of the young women we’ve worked with who are spread across the world will take building a strong and robust online education platform so that girls from the USwho have gone through the trainng can connect, learn from and share in leadership development with sisters from accross the globe! And our other major goal is to set up safe spaces for girls in communities that are disadvantaged so they can continue to learn and grow.

Our first GS continued education center will be in Bangalore India. This will cost about $700 a month to rent space, hire staff and serve the girls and young women of the Vivek Negar slum. 

This is our mission for 2017 and I hope that you will join us on this journey to change lives from the inside out and change communities with the help of empowered female leaders who know their value to the world?

Thank you for all you do!
