How can people support A Girl and Her World?
Get to know us and see what resonates! Some people are generous monthly givers, others support us at Christmas time, others offer skills, talent and time, others like Rotary invite us to speak and sell raffle tickets for us. School students do presentations on educating Girls and then hold cake stalls. We always ask people how they would most enjoy getting involved as that’s what always brings the best out of them and serves both our Fiji community and our supporters.
What have been the highlights so far for the organisation? And what have been some of the harder moments?
It's always the stories of change at the grassroots but also the willingness and generosity of people at home in supporting the work. We were blown away by the way people gave after the cyclone in 2016. Our community in Fiji was significantly affected and many still remain without adequate housing. Many were badly injured. We have been able to rebuild Urmila’s home and support other families to get back on their feet. In the days that followed the cyclone when help had not yet reached them, we were able to send money to people a few hours away who purchased food water, medicines, first aid supplies and torches for some of the families we work with who were sheltering in evacuation centres. We were also able to mobilise volunteers to go and assess our families quickly and even attracted a gorgeous English photographer who was travelling in New Zealand, she travelled over and captured some beautiful images. These connections are always very humbling. We had our hearts in our throats for days after the cyclone not knowing how people were, this was a distressing time and brought home that our Fiji community is home for us on so many levels, we are family now.
What is the plan for 2017?
We will likely send almost 70 Girls back to school in 2017. We also hope to support between 10 and 20 mums to establish income generating projects and will ask our supporters as well as corporate sponsors to help us achieve this.
Just needs more breathing room/margins on the right agaisnt photo.
The capital T is double in the first word on the left page... maybe don't crowd the photo with it?
Watch font size discrepencies. If changing font size, start a new line break / paragraph?
orem Ipsum is simply
dummy text of the
printing and typesetting industry. Lorem Ipsum has been the industry's standard dummy text ever since the 1500s, when an unknown printer took a galley of type and scrambled it to make a type specimen book. It has survived not only five centuries, but also the leap into electronic typesetting, remaining essentially unchanged. It was popularised in the 1960s with the release of Letraset sheets containing Lorem Ipsum passages, and more recently with desktop publishing software like Aldus PageMaker including versions of Lorem Ipsum.
readable English.
Many desktop publishing packages and web page editors now use Lorem Ipsum as their default model text, and a search for 'lorem ipsum' will uncover many web sites still in their infancy. Various versions have evolved over the years, sometimes by accident, sometimes on purpose (injected humour and the like).
Contrary to popular belief, Lorem Ipsum is not simply random text. It has roots in
literature from 45 BC, making it over 2000 years old. Richard McClintock, a Latin professor at Hampden-Sydney College
in Virginia, looked up one of the more obscure Latin words, consectetur, from a Lorem Ipsum passage, and going through the cites of the word in classical literature, discovered the
undoubtable source. Lorem Ipsum comes from sections 1.10.32 and 1.10.33 of "de Finibus Bonorum The standard chunk of Lorem Ipsumused since the 1500.

There are many variations of passages of Lorem Ipsum available, but the majority have suffered alteration in some form, by injected humour, or randomised words which don't look even slightly believable.
