We are the world. We are the children.

April 27, 2012 by thirdeyemom

Why I support Shot@Life…..the children. By supporting and fundraising for Shot@Life, with the help of my friends we have raised over $1500 and counting which will be enough funds to vaccinate 72 children in developing countries for life. I am not finished. There is still much work to be done and more money to be raised. I won’t give up. I have miles to walk before I sleep. The number of children dying around the world due to lack […]

April 26, 2012 by thirdeyemom

Me and some of my good friends who helped me organize the event. It’s been a huge week. This week is the United Nations’s first ever Global Immunization Week and today in Atlanta, the UN Foundation’s Shot@Life program was officially launched. Talk about a lot of milestones reached! What a huge success for the world’s children who do not have access to the vaccines that keep them alive. Last night, I finally had my own Shot@Life party here at […]

HUMAN RIGHTS: Celebrating International Women's Day in Guatemala

April 3, 2012 by thirdeyemom

Reblogged from World Moms Blog: A few weeks ago, when I was in Guatemala learning Spanish and volunteering for a week, I had a special surprise. I witnessed my first ever El Dia de la Mujer (International Women’s Day), and it was an extraordinary experience. Before heading out to Guatemala, I honestly admit that I had never even heard of International Women’s Day before. It wasn’t until I opened my email on March 8th and saw the post written by […]

Reblogged from the thirdeyeworld: Gretings from Guatemala’s Highlands…wish you were here! Photo taken right outside my Spanish school in Xela, Guatemala. I met Maria, a local Mayan woman, my second day in Xela. She came to Casa Xelaju Spanish School and set up shop right outside the door, in the lovely alleyway between the school and two traditional homes. Mayan women, the indigenous people of Guatemala, are known for their elaborate, colorful weaving. Read more… 138 more words Hello […]

El dia de la mujer in Xela, Guatemala

March 9, 2012 by thirdeyemom

Today was an amazing day. One of those unexpected, joyful events happened here in Guatemala. An event that will have a lasting impact on my experience living here in Xela for a week to learn Spanish and understand Guatemala’s rich culture. Being away from home, I completely forgot that March 8th is a special day for women around the world. It is International Women’s Day. Thus, I was fortunate to be here on “El dia de la muter” and witness […]
