If you've ever read or heard about the atrocities in Rwanda and asked, "What can I do?" I have an answer for you!

My dear friend, Jen Lemen, is planning an amazing trip to Rwanda to spread hope and share a wonderful book that she wrote with her friend, Odette! She needs our help. Please visit her blog, learn about the trip and do what you can to support her - $1, $5, a prayer or a wish! If you need a little inspiration about the powerful intersection of hope and girls, here's the video I made from Ellen's hope note party! Just imagine a global effort to empower girls and spread hope!
