United Nations Foundation "Girl Up" Reception, New York -2010

Thanks to the United Nations Foundation for inviting SHARE founder Shannon McNamara to speak at the Girl Up Reception held at the MTV Lodge in Manhattan on October 1, 2010.  The event focused on introducing the audience to the campaign and encouraging people to get involved.  Shannon appreciated the opportunity to raise awareness for girls' education in East Africa and mentioned how SHARE's mission and the Girl Up mission are nearly identical.  Both focus on empowering girls in the developing world.  Shannon is honored to be serving on the Girl Up Advisory Board.
