Are you ready to make a difference in the world? You have the Power to do just that! Linda has partnered with the Inter-cultural Women’s Educational Network to organize the One Scarf, One Book, One Girl – The Power of One Campaign. This campaign was created to help free young girls in Nepal from bonded labour (slavery). Proceeds of the campaign go directly back to Nepal to buy back the girls and send them to school for one year.
Climbing Everest is not the biggest challenge in Nepal. As you read this, according to Unicef, UNESCO and IWEN, there are over 20,000 girls between the ages of seven and sixteen who are in bonded servitude (paid for slavery) in Nepal. Daily survival is a challenge as just under half of the population is fuelled by poverty. “It’s shocking as a mother, appalling as a woman and there is something we all can do to change this tragedy.” States Edgecombe
Your sponsorship of $195 will give you a scarf made in Nepal, Linda’s book “Shift or Get Off The Pot, 26 Simple Truths About Getting a Life” and a tax receipt (for Canadian Sponsors only) and the satisfaction of knowing you are making the difference in a young girls life.
The purchase of a scarf and book only, without tax receipt is also available for $40.
