Small business owners can benefit by getting involved in the community in which they operate. Giving back to the community is not only the right thing to do, but it also pays you back in terms of brand recognition and higher sales. The community involvement can happen in various forms. You can sponsor the Little League softball team in your city or participate in fund raising for the high school football team. The community involvement doesn’t have to be limited to local community. With the rise of globalization the world has become smaller and as a result the community you participate in has become global. Joelle O’Reilly-Hyland has started one such global foundation to help educate the girls.
Education holds particularly special place on my heart. I strongly believe that educating our next generation properly can solve many of the pressing problems we are seeing today, including terrorism, poverty and social injustice. Education of girls takes even more significance when you consider that majority of the girls in many parts of the world do not have access to schools – something that many of us take for granted in the Western world. The recent case of Malala, a girl from Pakistan, who promoted education for girls and stood up against Taliban is well known, but tragic at the same time. If one girl can do so much with the education, just imagine what would happen if more and more girls participate in the education system.
According to philanthropist Joelle O’Reilly-Hyland, the benefits of providing an education go far beyond just that student. The benefits extend to her family, her city, her country and ultimately the entire world. Educated girls grow up to be women who are literate, articulate and valuable members of their communities. They are also less inclined to participate in political extremism, and they are less likely to support violence in the community. They will contribute to the financial health of the household.
You will find that supporting girl education can be inherently rewarding. Not only will you be enhancing the life of one person, but the entire community will benefit. That is the mission philanthropists like Joelle O’Reilly-Hyland are pursuing. If you are considering giving back to the community you should strongly consider the cause of education that can provide benefit for the generations to come.
