“LOL, I was a little cheerleader for RED HOUSE during Sports Day at school when this picture was taken.

“I look at this little girl and I remember how big she dreamed.

“How BOLD she was… Who would’ve thought that from a small little corner in South Africa, that little smile would be where it is now…

“If it were not for my teachers who saw the bright light before I realized it, if it were not for the books that kept me Dreaming and imagining… I don’t know how life would look like right now.

“Education gave me the power to dream.

“The audacity to dare even greater. Dear 10-year-old Zamo, I have kept my promise. You gave me the courage and I will never let go of it.

“On International Day of the Girl, I challenge you to get involved in the #GirlUpChallenge!

“Post a throwback photo of when you were a fearless kid ready to take on the world. Use the hashtag #GirlUpChallenge and pass it along to 10 loved ones.
