International Day of the Girl
October 11 was the International Day of the Girl and the 9th anniversary of the founding of Tech-Girls. Looking back at the first Tech-Girl Monthly, I am reminded of the words that Archbiship Desmond Tutu shared at the inaugural International Day of the Girl UN event - "You have started something that is going to make this a better world. We are on the winning side." In 2012 an idea was planted on the international stage as well as in Charlottesville - that the investment in and empowerment of girls is critical to all of us.
