The Baldwin chapter of Girls Learn International is dedicated to the movement for universal girls' education and empowering the students of its partner school in Pakistan, the Khanott School.

 

The students, faculty, and families of the Baldwin School community are invited to attend a musical fundraiser and a showcase of the cultural exchange between Baldwin and the Khanott School. Guests will have the chance to see the beautiful handmade crafts sent from Pakistan in January and the quilt that the Baldwin chapter students plan to send to the Khanott School girls. Each square of the quilt was made by Baldwin students and features an inspiring word that emphasizes the importance of girls' education - words like "future" and "empower."

 

Those who attend the event will also hear singer Romeena and guitarist Sami Kureishy perform traditional Pakistani music live, and watch Baldwin junior Anjalie Field perform Indian classical dance. Pakistani hors d'oeuvres will be served as well.

 

Guests of "Girls Going Global: Art & Activism at Baldwin & Beyond" will be able to feel like a part of the Baldwin and Khanott School partnership, which has blossomed over the past three years, while also experiencing a taste of the culture of the Indo-Pak subcontinent.  

Admission is free; donations to Girls Learn International are encouraged. Please RSVP by May 7 to Nadia Tareen at Nadia.Tareen@gmail.com. For more information visit Girls Going Global.
