I join Mr. Kristof in his effort to create something good out of something so bad. And I add to his list of worthy organizations The Mercy Learning Center, which provides literacy skills to undereducated women with the goal of breaking the intergenerational pattern of poverty through education and empowerment.
We may not be able to rescue the taken girls or bring back Ms. Sanchez, but we, as mothers, fathers, brothers and sisters can support efforts to ensure that girls—far and near—are safe to go school and get the education they need to be our next Dealmakers, GCs, CEOs and Board leaders. Whatever they want to be.
Happy Mother's Day.
