This blog run on girl power

This is completely unrelated to Breast Cancer or our training (except for the fact I'm icing my shins as I type) but I thought that since this blog was powered by a bunch of people possessing 2 X chromosomes, I'd give props to a pretty cool organization working to ensure women have a chance at empowerment elsewhere in the world. 10,000 girls is a pet project that Thom Haslam of Societas has been working on while living in Dakar, Senegal. The aim of the organization is to encourage young girls in rural Senegal (West Africa) to stay in school to get an education and become self-reliant career professionals (much like the Pharmers).
