Josie and I shared our message with the Year 3-6 kids at our wonderful school. It was so much fun! We were sharing that some kids have no opportunities just because of where they were born and contrast that with all of the opportunities our kids have.
The kids were amazing. They totally got the message and got totally involved in the activities we had 'prepared'.. or would have had prepared and maybe even had a run through if Josie and I hadn't both been travelling last week and both crazy busy with work! But we had at least discussed them... briefly. Clearly planning is over-rated!
At pick up I became... Hey you are that "Because I am a Girl" girl!
Even my boys said I did an OK job... which I am taking to mean it was awesome!
Very cool.
We included a fabulous quote in our presentation which I thought you might all appreciate:
"The future must not belong to
those who bully women. It must be shaped by girls who go to school and those
who stand for a world where our daughters can live their dreams just like our
sons."
President Barack Obama.
Hopefully in my next post, I will have some training updates. I haven't been on the bike in a week... now there is a phrase I never thought I would hear come out of my mouth!! Turns out that crazy busy and jet-lag are impeding my training schedule... or is that just a convenient excuse??
Until next time.
