What I did and what I learned about my topic, activism, social justice work or civil and human rights work from this fieldwork?[:: :

Ashley Steimer-King is the program director at Girls Learn International. She told us all about how her organization had helped girls in the U.S and around the world. Their mission is to give everyone a chance at a proper education. Not unlike Sarah Symons’ cause, when girls are given an education, they have an ability to have a much more stable life down the road. Amanda Gorman had also been a volunteer at the organization before.

She said that she had been to the UN, and loved doing what she did and feeling like she was helping so many people get the education they needed.
