Georgetown Day School (GDS), in Washington, DC, has over 1,000 students
from Pre-Kindergarten(4 year olds) to twelfth grade (18 year olds). Over a
year ago, our sixth, seventh and eighth grade students (mainly girls)
joined Girls Learn International, a national organization that promotes
all girls’ rights to equal education and encourages partnerships with
schools around the world. During the year, GDS students learned more
about Human Rights, particularly the Rights to Education, and were lucky
to develop a relationship with Blue Sky School in Nepal. The girls in
each school exchanged letters and learned briefly about each other. In
addition, the GDS girls in each grade held fundraising events to sponsor
female students in the Blue Sky. For example, the girls in seventh grade
invited all the students to take part in a walk-a-thon (Fun Run) around
the neighborhood, and raised over two thousands dollars for the Blue Sky
students. We at GDS appreciate our partnership with the Blue Sky School
