The following email comes from Tara, a great person working to empower the girls that empower their communities.

Hi Everyone –

Y’all know I’ve been traveling around the world interviewing girl and young women changemakers this past year, right? Well, now I want to create an interactive online network called “girltank” to connect these dynamic young women and support them in changing the world.

And all I need is your vote. By October 31st. For a $15K grant to build the site.

The site, btw, will offer video clips of the young women, forums, blogs, how-to podcasts and online workshops. Each element will allow the young women to get to know each other, grow their capacity as leaders, learn more about areas that have a global impact on women, and continue their work to change the world. I also hope the site will inspire other girls and young women to get involved.

I promise that it will be very exciting! 🙂

Thanks in advance for your support!
