And now for an interesting fact — courtesy of Mr. McDermott: the United Nations has declared October 11th “International Day of the Girl Child.” Its purpose is to raise attention and support for young women across the world — as well as right here in the U.S. — so they can reach their full potential. Areas of concern include discrimination, health, safety, education and equal rights. Check out the United Nations website for more information, and to learn how YOU can help!
