To support the endeavors of girls, we also want to tell you about Another Kind of Girl: Another Kind of Girl is a media arts collective that equips girls in the midst of displacement with the creative and technical means to explore and articulate their inner worlds and daily lives through film and photography.

One of the girls who participated in the collective said this:

“I want to show the rest of the world that even though we live in a refugee camp, and have different lives from others, we still have dreams and ambitions. We are creative. We strive to rise above our limitations and work toward our dreams. I feel it’s my responsibility not just to tell the world that truth, but to let people see it for themselves.” ~ Khaldiya

While we have your attention, we'd love to tell you about this cool non-profit:

The Haitian-American Community Organization (HACO) is a charitable organization that financially supports an all-girls' school in Haiti called Notre-Dame du Perpétuel Secours. The school provides a strong education and much-needed meals for girls, from kindergarten through 6th grade, who live in one of the poorest and most dangerous neighborhoods in Port-au-Prince. If it were not for this school, many of the girls would be domestic slaves or prostitutes.

Please consider donating $5, or whatever you can afford to HACO: http://hacohaiti.org/
