Facebook (4) | Awakened Connections
This morning in my email inbox, I had a full course of photos from Tanzania - of the three young women who fled their Maasai villages prior to female circumcision and early marriage to search for a more meaningful choice: education. In their own ways, they all found a school that had been set up through the HumanKind Foundation. This school is for primary and secondary education, an incredible start. What they have been yearning for is a way to go onto university, in order to really make the strongest impact in their home villages. Awakened Connections, alongside the HumanKind Foundation, will now be offering this year's three graduates scholarships to go onto the Teacher College. When asked what they want to study, all three young women said to become teachers. Not in the large city; not in a private school; not abroad; in their home villages. The glory, and wonder, of our abilities, by simply being available in heart, space, and mind, to be of benefit to our global brothers and sisters, sometimes for me is heart-aching. Heart-arching in the way that makes me feel: It is possible...It is possible, to show up, and be together, alive, in the fruits of our breath, to do something meaningful.
