Girl Rising. Educate a Girl. Change the World. March 2013.
We had a fantastic Party in the App Lab this month, gathering useful insights from our future players. A special thanks to Eliot for making our session such a success!
Apps for Kids & Eliot
Eliot is the smart and insightful innovator of the App Lab. He will be a guest speaker at the next Silicon Valley iOS Dev Meetup WWCD After Party on Monday night. Go Eliot!
“I’m SO good at this!” … the words we love to hear when gathering feedback! It was another fun session with our future players.
When you educate a girl, everything changes.
Doing Well by Doing Good: A Conversation with Matthew Flannery and John Wood, moderated by KQED’s Dave Iverson. The evening was focused on Hand-Ups rather than Hand-Outs. Some highlights:
- $250/year will educate a girl in a developing country through the Room to Read Program Girls Education Initiative. We support this initiative and hope you will, too!
- Half The Sky Movement Turning oppression into opportunity for women worldwide
- ~80% of Kiva’s micro-loans are to women with 98% payback rate
- Celebrity or Charity? John Woods’ plea for the media to focus on the cause of the charity rather than the celebrity. Don’t we all wish the media was a bit more cerebral and little less celebrity?
- Girls Matter!
Females spend more time playing mobile games than males.
