After taking this moment last night (before the Blazer Game)- I felt a sense of change. My emotional health felt rejuvenated, my spiritual health felt whole, and my physical health I felt strong. Take a moment and plant that tree.

Electricity Generation

How can micro energy solutions reduce inequities? Why is this important to you?
Amanda Beibers 4/24/2019 10:53 AM
First off- once again you can help by donating as little as $25
I think solar, wind, and hydro power are the best ways to make change. I personally have changed how I pay for my electricity by choosing wind power. It is smart and helping reduce my energy bill.

In what other ways could you help girls overcome health barriers to being able to attend school?
Amanda Beibers 4/23/2019 5:44 PM
First off- you can donate as little as $25...we all should be donating!! I believe in giving of our time- research local agencies and help locally get our girls attending school. I've volunteered for many years a s a "Big Sister" but we have Boys & Girls Clubs throughout the metro area. This is a good start at helping girls at risk.

REFLECTION QUESTION
Women and Girls

Globally, women typically invest a higher proportion of their earnings in their families and communities than men. Why do you think that is?
Amanda Beibers 4/22/2019 5:49 PM
Everything is subject to opinion but I know first hand that all my "extra" funds monthly go to my adult children as they need it and my granddaughters education- I believe it is because we "women" typically have more of the nurture/caregiver demeanor. It lends to our giving nature so giving more freely is inherent than our male counterpart.
