Educate & Empower Girls in India This Thursday, October 18th, 7:30-10pm at Green Spaces

In one of the poorest parts of a developing nation, a section of the population is marginalized and not allowed to live to their full potential. Join us for an evening in support of Pardada Pardadi, an NGO that works to uplift and empower girls from rural India. The organization provides free education and vocational training, creating a new generation of self-reliant and educated girls who will break the cycle of poverty in the region.   Get inspired by our speakers, Ron Fuchs, Judith Hunger & Abigail E. Lynn, who will share their personal experiences and the impact that the work has had in accelerating the emancipation and development of the region.
