April is the month for Project WE (Women's Education) DISCOVER

There is a song that I really love - "Man in the Mirror" by Michael Jackson. The first verse and the chorus says:

I'm Gonna Make A Change
For Once In My Life
It's Gonna Feel Real Good, I'm Gonna Make A Difference
Gonna Make It Right .
As I, Turn Up The Collar On My Favourite Winter Coat
This Wind Is Blowin' My Mind
I See The Kids In The Street,With Not Enough To Eat
Who Am I, To Be Blind?Pretending Not To See Their Needs
A Summer's Disregard,
A Broken Bottle Top
And A One Man's Soul
They Follow Each Other On The Wind Ya' Know'
Cause They Got NowhereTo Go
That's Why I Want You ToKnow

I'm Starting With The Man In The Mirror
I'm Asking Him To Change His Ways
And No Message Could Have Been Any Clearer
If You Wanna Make The World A Better Place
Take A Look At Yourself, And Then Make A Change

If you read the words of this song, it's telling us that if we want to effect change, we gotta look out ourselves (Man/Woman in the Mirror) and change ourselves, our attitude towards things, our beliefs and our commitment to helping the less fortunate.

This April, we would take you through our journey on planning the implementation of Project Women's Education (WE). We would chronicle our efforts on finding the right approach to helping achieve the objective of the programs and our quest to bring this vision to life.
