Tinogona (It Is Achievable)

We ladies at the Girls' World Forum had the honor of hearing the very inspirational Dr. Tererai Trent speak at our closing ceremony.  

Tererai grew up in a village in Zimbabwe where girls were not encouraged to attend school.  Still, she wanted an education.  Now she is a PhD who has opened nine schools in Africa.

Check out her story in the two videos below:

 



This woman has such a giving heart.  Her spirit is apparent in the way she talks, the way she moves.  I applaud her for not only rising out of poverty, but for providing others with better educational opportunities.

Somebody has to break the cycle of poverty.  It is achievable.
