A crash course in changing the world.
Give, educate, make leaders - ACT 6.
How I am involved in empowering women is by
1. Giving.
I am giving 30 US dollars to one of the global giving sites put on here by Alchemy that is in India.

I am also working to spread awareness of the radicalization of many women's issues.

2. Educating
I am educating Islamic girls in Al Mergib University Libya in Teacher's Preparatory College, Faculty of English as an Associate Professor in EFL, ESL, English literature and creative writing. I teach reading, writing ,speaking and listening and many other topics. These students will become the school and university teachers of the future here in Libya so I am moulding them to change the future of Libya.

3. Building tomorrow's elite and aware leaders.
Back in India via online training I am guiding a student in her final year film for her diploma in a famed art, design and tech College. Her name is Roanna Rahman. She is from Assam.
I inspire a student who writes for designwala.org.. Her name is Ria Rajan. I taught her creative writing and she now writes well . I posted two of her posts here and got much feedback and acclaim which she rightfully deserved.
http://www.designwala.org/2010/04/mapunity-social-technology-at-work/ - This is her latest article.
I have also just helped with a graphic novel project in the same above mentioned college. The student is Manasi Lamba whose graphic novel I am helping and it's found here: http://cowab***asrishti.blogspot.com/2010/04/manasi-graphic-novel.html
These are only the tip of an iceberg, among maybe a thousand of my students, many of whom are rich and powerful and equipped and aware , a slowly forming intellectual elite who will drive India forward into greatness in the future, empowering women.
The work of empowering women is thus divided into three economic stratae and aimed at maximization of the ripple effect with my focus being primarily among the developing nations.
A sister's sister post can be found here - this is by Margie Alsbrook and worth reading indeed.
