REFLECTION QUESTION
Food Learn More about Silvopasture

Had you heard of the term "silvopasture" before now? After learning more about it, what do you think is the biggest advantage of silvopasture?

Sue Beam 4/19/2019 11:03 AM

I have never had of this term before. The biggest advantage is helping to save our planet. And to do so by planting more trees seems like a win overall. And, who knows, maybe the cattle will like having trees around to lay in the shade. :-)

REFLECTION QUESTION
Women and Girls Support Women-Owned Businesses

Globally, women typically invest a higher proportion of their earnings in their families and communities than men. How can you better support communities by supporting women? Can you share any past experiences that may help others take action?

There is a great link to shop at women-owned businesses when you click on this challenge card:

REFLECTION QUESTION
Women and Girls Help Girls Overcome Health Barriers

In what other ways could you help girls overcome health barriers to being able to attend school?

Sue Beam 4/05/2019 6:45 AM

I can't imagine not being able to go to school, or to participate in life, due to having my period. I feel this is a great cause and I will donate again in the future to help these girls.
