Alone we can do so little , but togther we can do so much - Hellen Keller


Because i am a Girl, I Am forced to be involved in more violence and abuse than a BOY can ever endure .
But i stay STRONG .......
Because i am a Girl, I don't know what it is to have a REAL meal that can fulfill my hunger .
So I am slowly becoming Malnourished ......
Because i am a Girl , I have a husband.
But i am UNDER the age of 18 ,
Because i am a Girl, I don't have an education .
So i have nothing else to do but sell my body on the street .
But one day, Because i AM a GIRL ..
I will make it possible that young and old girls , can embark on a new journey .. one day taking over the World .
