Video: Amy Poehler Visits with Pediatrician Dr. Jane Aronson at the Smart Girls Party

Welcome to the Girls Succeed! blog. 

Today I have an episode from Amy Poehler's Smart Girls Party to share with you. Comedian Amy Poehler interviews pediatrician Dr. Jane Aronson. She is a "world-changer." Dr. Aronson works with the World Wide Orphan Foundation and brings humanity and love to the children who have no one to love or care for them. Through this program, children are nourished and loved, and also taught how to express themselves through the arts and sports.

Video: Girl Rising--Education for Girls

An important film, Girl Rising, is opening in the USA. Amazing in its width and breadth exploring the lives of girls on this planet. It is a close-up view of lives of girls and the importance of girls getting an education.

Girls are important! You are important! An education is the ticket to opening wonderful worlds of hope and security for girls. Watch the video. 

You can find out more about the movie and locations where it is being shown in your area. I haven't seen the entire movie, but I hope I get the opportunity this spring. To learn more about this project go to the Girl Rising website.
