December 2012  
I love the holiday season!  

 

My favourite part is shopping for the perfect present for each and every person. It's my way of saying: "You matter to me."

 

But the best gifts - those with the power to transform a life - can't be found in a store.   

WORDS OF WISDOM

"This holiday season, what's the best gift to give a girl?" 

The best gifts for girls
The best gifts for girls
 

As the holiday approach, we asked you about the best gifts to help girls become confident, courageous young women! 

MY STORY - DANA
 "No longer are girls only to be seen and not heard"  

In Dana's community, there was lots of violence and poverty, but not many services or opportunities for an eleven-year-old girl like her. She didn't feel safe, and didn't speak up very much.

 

Then she joined an all-girls club funded by the Canadian Women's Foundation.

 

Find out how your support helped Dana regain her confidence.


Thanks to you, more than 10,000 girls across Canada are finding their voice, learning critical thinking skills, and moving into confidence.

 

That's the best possible gift of all!

 

We wish you and your family a safe and happy holiday season.
