Review for Central Asia Institute, Bozeman, MT, USA

Rating: 5 stars  

CAI is my longest donation organization. I marched with Gloria Steinem in the 1960's. I marched in Civil Rights. I believe all humans, regardless of gender, skin color or belief system, have more in common, than apart. We all have a heart. We all have tear ducts with which to cry. We all bleed red. We are ONE.

I've spent my life working to support girls and women, knowing from my global treks, that education is the ONE THING that uplifts everyone. As long as girls are not allowed to be educated in some Muslim countries, such as Afghanistan and Pakistan, among others, we are losing 53% of the possibilities that could make this world better for EVERYONE. 53% of the world's population is female. My goal is to support CAI for these reasons. I am on a monthly, automatic renewal and it makes me feel good to know that Greg M. and his wonderfully dedicated, passionate staff, and the people out in the field (often risking their own lives) to bring girls the books to read, to stop illiteracy, and to help them achieve their dreams.

Girls and women are just as intelligent, just as capable, as any man on this planet. I will continue to write about strong young women, each of my books a donation to this planet's women, honoring their strength, their grit, their dreams that they will fight to achieve. By donating, all of us can help each little girl dream and dream big, and add to the positives of our planet in small and large ways. Our donations give them a chance to do just that. Thank you, CAI. Bless all of you.
