Georgetown Day School (GDS), in Washington, DC, has over 1,000 students
from Pre-Kindergarten(4 year olds) to twelfth grade (18 year olds). Over
a year ago, our sixth, seventh and eighth grade students (mainly girls)
joined Girls Learn International, a national organization that promotes
all girls’ rights to equal education and encourages partnerships with
schools around the world. During the year, GDS students learned more
about Human Rights, particularly the Rights to Education, and were lucky
to develop a relationship with Blue Sky School in Nepal.
The
girls in each school exchanged letters and learned briefly about each
other. In addition, the GDS girls in each grade held fund raising events
to sponsor female students in the Blue Sky. For example, the girls in
seventh grade invited all the students to take part in a walk-a-thon
(Fun Run) aroundthe neighborhood, and raised over two thousands dollars
for the Blue Sky School students. We at GDS appreciate our partnership
with the Blue Sky School and look forward to our continued relationship.
