The message is remarkable but you can watch the video just for the incredible effectiveness of the technique.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.girleffect.org" target="_blank">The Girl Effect</a> is the work of the <a href="http://www.nikefoundation.org/" target="_blank">Nike</a> and <a href="http://www.novofoundation.org/" target="_blank">NoVo</a> Foundations. It&#8217;s not necessarily new work, organizations such as <a href="http://mcc.org" target="_blank">the Mennonite Central Committee</a> have been working with micro-loans for some time. But it is still a powerful and forceful message that needs to be heard.</p>
<p>I think there are some amazing geography / world history / economic lessons that can be started with the video and stories embedded in <a href="http://www.girleffect.org" target="_blank">the Girl Effect site</a>.</p>
<p>How would you use it?</p>
