1. THE TEAM
"I believe in a world of justice
and human rights for all. A
world where girls can grow up
free of fear of abuse. A world
where women are treated with
the respect and dignity that is
their right. A world where
poverty is not acceptable. My
dear young friends, you can
make this your world."
