Join Me And CARE In Sending Letters Of Hope
Join me and CARE in sending letters of hope to encourage students in developing countries to pursue their educational dreams. #SimplySaid
CARE is a global humanitarian organization that fights poverty by empowering girls and women and providing life saving assistance in emergencies.
While the topic of education is often discussed here in the U.S., it’s not because poor children are excluded from the opportunity. Our public school systems are free. I’d like to introduce you to some children in developing countries who are often unable to attend school because of of barriers and obstacles. In some developing countries, girls are expected to quit school at a young age and devote themselves to household chores.
Many girls don’t have educational opportunities to pursue their dreams, like Bridget who wants to be a doctor. It’s humanitarian organizations like CARE who have the resources with your help to make dreams come true for these girls.
Meet Bridget
Bridget wants to be a doctor when she grows up. She lives in a community where the nearest health clinic is a 6 mile walk one way. Can you imagine being too sick to move and can’t get medical help because you can’t walk six miles? Bridget wants to become a doctor one day so she can build a clinic in her community and help people. Can you imagine a child whose thoughts are to meet the needs of her community? We can help Bridget.

This is a wonderful cause. Every child deserves the chance to reach their full potential.
I think it’s amazing to do this for the kids who need a little glimmer of hope sent their way. It’s also a great way to teach our kids about compassion and to show them how lucky they truly are!
I think this is a great idea. CARE does a lot of great work in other countries. I can’t imagine being treated this way just because I’m a girl. It is so unfair.
Awesome cause. I can imagine the millions of children that can benefit from
This. So many are living in poverty unable to do what many others are privileged to do.
What a great campaign and an awesome program. Thanks for posting this!
I just sent my letter of hope. Thank you for writing about this important topic and sharing with us. I really hope these letters can inspire the children of Haiti.
This is such a great campaign with very important message. Education is very important, for girls or boys.
I’ve never heard of Care before but so glad you mentioned it. Sounds like a great program.
Can we even imagine the world we could live in if education was free and available to all children? This is such an important cause and it’s so great to spread awareness. It can be easy to get distracted in our own little world and forget about how people live outside of that.
A quality education and the funds to attend a good school really is a blessing that we take for granted. This is a great idea to try and keep spirits high and not allow for dreams to be forgotten about.
I have never heard of CARE before. I am always so happy to find organizations out there that reach out and help young women become what they dream of.
What a wonderful story, I love that you can send letters of hope. Sometimes a little encouraging words is all one needs to feel better!
I have never heard of the CARE organization, but after reading this, it make me want to be a part of it. I believe in pushing anyone to follow their dreams and I support any group that helps those less fortunate.
Mary sounds like a strong young lady. I love that we’re able to send our support to people who need it!
We are so fortunate in the US and forget that some places don’t have the basic education that we do here. This is such a great project and sent a little message of encouragement.
I was really struck by Moni’s story. I asked my daughter the same questions that CARE asked her. I absolutely sent a letter of hope.
Oh what a wonderful idea. It absolutely breaks my heart reading stories like this. It makes me realise how lucky we are to live in this great nation.
Oh what a wonderful idea. It absolutely breaks my heart reading stories like this. Just makes me realise how lucky my daughter is to have such a great access to education
That is such an amazing organization. As a former teacher it always saddens me to see kids who want to get an education and can’t because of circumstances like this. I love that you are spreading the word.
What a great organization and incredible cause! Those pictures are touching my heart! I am going to share this with my kids as well, it is so important that they see the real life struggles around us. Letters of hope is going to make a difference in so many lives!
I love this! We take education for granted here in the U.S. and forget that it is a privilege to some regions of our world. We get frustrated with our teens who just want to “get it over with” when others can’t wait to begin. Thank you for sharing!
Care seems like an amazing organization that helps so many girls with their education to make their dreams come true. These letters of hope is a great campaign indeed and is a great way to pay it forward also. Thanks for sharing this awesome organization and campaign.
CARE is an awesome program. This is definitely something everyone should get behind. Thanks for bringing to the forefront. 🙂

Life With Lorelai
It just rips my heart out when I read stories about children like Bridget. It reminds me of the orphanage we help support in Haiti. Our church purchased all of their back-to-school supplies including uniforms for the entire orphanage and I cried when we saw the photos. Sending a letter of hope to inspire these children is such a great idea. When we all work together, we can do so much for these children.
