her younger sisters will follow in her footsteps.
The butterfly affect of changing a few minds in one family. The daughters that these three daughters may go to their school too.

But as I reached puberty, I underwent female genital mutilation, known as FGM
I'm sure what that initials. I wonder why this was the traditional thing to do to women in Kenya.
School is just a start.
It makes sense; What better place than the beacon of education to mold a new generation of your community to empower girls and change tradition thinking.
Strange you might think, but if we could rely on corporations to tell us what they were doing in the back of their stores, we wouldn’t need to go sneaking around the back, opening up bins and having a look at what’s inside.
It seems these businesses and corporations might be hiding what they are throwing away purposely form the locks the put on their trash bins to none of the information being available to the public about what and how much food the throw away. I wonder why they want to be part of the problem and not part of the solution?
Supermarkets didn’t even want to talk to me about how much food they were wasting. I’d been round the back. I’d seen bins full of food being locked and then trucked off to landfill sites, and I thought, surely there is something more sensible to do with food than waste it.
Some of the foods that these business are probably throwing away are foods that aren't appealing to the eye but can still be consumed. Costumers want to buy something that is not only fresh but looks appealing. the items that may not look so appealing like maybe a dented potato or weirdly shape apple can be donated to people and places that need it.
One morning, when I was feeding my pigs, I noticed a particularly tasty-looking sun-dried tomato loaf that used to crop up from time to time. I grabbed hold of it, sat down, and ate my breakfast with my pigs.
I liked hearing is story and I appreciate his personal relationship to this problem. Individuals that are public speaker sometimes don't know how to get the audiences attention right off the back and I think adding a personal experience to your introduction is on way to catch your listeners hear because who just wants to listen to facts all day.
the Global Goals are certainly ambitious
The Global Goals are very ambitious. I know as time goes on and each generation is put into this world the world itself become more open minded and accepting and less discriminative. I just hope I will still be alive to see a world without so much confliction and a lot more fairness. Let's work on SDG's goals of Gender Equality, Reduce Inequalities, Peace, Justice and Strong Institutions, and Partnerships for The Goal.
the world seems to be going backwards, not forwards.
How are we expected to come together as a collective group of people to solve problems and make the world a better place if we are still to this day having issues with race, gender, and sexuality equality. From the horrible but recent incident with George Floyd to hearing about three transgender females being brutally beaten on the streets of LA, where does it stop. Everyday I do see and increase in supporters in these current issues but there are still others that wish to do the opposite and pull us backwards and it sometimes feels like they are winning. I just think it would make more sense to get everybody on the same page on equality so together we can move forward from there and have everyones support on things like world hunger and climate change. To make a real impact we need almost everyone to be involved. How long do you think it will take until we are all on the same page of equality? Can we pull ourselves together before 2030 and solve at least some of the 17 issues?
Do you think the world is going to be a better place next year? In the next decade? Can we end hunger, achieve gender equality, halt climate change, all in the next 15 years?
I'd like to be an optimistic person and think that humans have the capacity to actually undo their wrongs and become a progressive species. I do think that we are as a whole we are progressing very slowly in some ways, but I don't have faith that us humans will make a significant differences to the world unless some type of law is passed. There isn't enough of us that want to make a difference in something like climate change to make an actual impact. I'd really like for us as species to prove me wrong.
Aim to educate
I've never known compassion to be an education tool. The only time I could see compassion and education in the same place is when individuals utilize their constructive criticism skills to help others.
even when your intentions were not to cause them harm
The golden rule is treat others how you'd want to be treated. All humans should abide by this rule. Even when your intentions maybe be pure make sure you are respectful and convey that respect towards others even when you have the slightest feeling that the other individual may have taken it a certain way. Just own up to your actions. It's a shame that we are still have this problem to this day.
others are compassionately working for our benefit.
In my opinion it's so interesting how compassion is like a balanced scale. "Others are compassionately working for our benefit" as we compassionately work for others benefit in some ways.
