From February 6 through April 31, we're taking over Tumblr with our #VOICEYOURVERSE Poetry Campaign! We're blogging verses of submissions to our "If The World Were My Classroom" anthology, photos and words of girls we sponsor around the world, and inspiring thoughts!
100% of proceeds from the anthology, published during National Poetry Month in April, will sponsor girls' education in Kenya, Tanzania, India, and Nepal.
Get involved at http://www.shesthefirst.org/poetry.
Purchase your copy of the anthology here!
She's the First is a not-for-profit that sponsors girls’ education in the developing world, so that they can be the first in their families to graduate from high school. "Like" us on Facebook or tweet @shesthefirst!
