Dear Girl Child,

This is a letter to you.

I know we live, work, laugh and share all moments together and you must surprised that today I’m communicating in this manner;

My message to you is simple;

Go do amazing things in Africa, because you are.

Go do good to African people, because you are.

Go plant trees, because you can; trust me you don’t need a diploma to plant a tree.

Please go learn about forests and nature conservation, because you can truly become a specialist in Africa.

Go learn about smart agriculture technologies because you can engineer them in Africa.

Go learn about the green economy because Africa awaits.

Get deep about the blue economy, because Africa awaits.

Go find ways to innovate in tourism, because you can surely make a business out of it.

You can be anything if you are determined.

I am telling you, what I tell my colleagues; Your idea and space do matter and I will support you.

Happy International Day of a Girl Child.

Yours,

Marisa, G.
