Maybe because today is the anniversary of the Earthquake that devastated Haiti two years ago, but Saman's blog touched me deeply, for it reminded me of the struggle ahead but also of the fact that there are many people committed to that struggle. I still miss 'my girls", the young women I worked with in the Haitian community, so I completely identify with the reward of witnessing young women break down barriers. I am looking forward to working with Saman (and the rest of the Girls Action team) in supporting girls and young women to be change agents in their lives and their communities.
A special Anniversary, a new ED
