Who is a Woman who Inspires You?

 Who is a woman who inspires you?

This week Amisadai is involved in activities surrounding International Women's Day at their school and she has set the challenge for fellow students to think about this question. Here is a short video she made to pose the question ...

And now we also wanted to invite you into the challenge! This week is a wonderful opportunity to celebrate a woman who has inspired you! Tell us about someone who has inspired you, maybe a quote or a story too, I think it will be inspiring for many more of us, so please share! It can be anonymous too if that is more appropriate. 

There is so much we can learn from the life and experiences of others! And it is good to honour, encourage and thank others ... women don't have to be famous or "saints" to be inspirational, but let us appreciate the ordinary people in our lives who inspire and encourage us in everyday life! 

Please share in the comments here! Or head over to the Hive Facebook Page and share there! Or maybe write a private note to someone you know to thank them for the inspiration they have been to you. 

We know so many wonderful women we would love to celebrate here, but we have just selected a few of the women we know who are inspirationally using the gifts they have to serve and give hope... and then a few other women from history who we have been inspired by! The girls will be posting some of their inspirational women on social media and we will share here on the blog over the next few weeks and keep the hashtag #HelpTheHive circulating! 

Today, as you have heard in the video, we want to celebrate Aikande, our dear friend who is doing so much to lead and encourage the Upendo wa Mama women at The Hive in Tanzania. I don't think she realised just how much she was signing up for when she arrived! She has devoted herself to serving the women, learning so many new things and putting it all into practice! And I know that the Mwanza community she serves with the mamas through The Hive Shop (coordinating deliveries of fresh organic vegetables from Mavuno Family Children's home and orders of coffee and fresh meats...) they love and appreciate her too! And we are trusting that at the end of this fundraising month, we will be able to ensure her role at The Hive will continue!

Thank you so very much to those who have given to Help the Hive already! Thank you for your shares and likes and comments! You can find the Virgin Money Giving Page here! And our Canadian friends who would like to donate can now go directly to this EIC Giving Page! 

Thank you so very much, it all makes a difference!
