GLOBAL GOODWILL AMBASSADORS FOUNDATION THEIssue 9 |May 2021

From my point of view, a humanitarian is someone who helps those who aredisadvantaged and in need. There are many activities we can perform with verylittle or no money so always keep your heart open to helping others. Sitting with the elderly who are alone - PricelessMentoring children and adults - PricelessSharing a smile and lifting someone's day - PricelessHelping walk dogs at animal shelters - PricelessSharing your knowledge and education with someone - PricelessSharing the My Body is My Body a free child abuse prevention program -Priceless...and the list goes onWe should never get caught up in these titles as this should come from yourheart and I see so many of you shedding your "blood, sweat, and tears" to helpothers. I'm very honored to have so many brothers and sisters who are care aboutpeople, animals, the girl child, education, and sustainability, to name a few.Follow your heart and you will always be on the track of a humanitarian whospreads kindness and truly cares. We would also like to thank Chrissy Sykes and Dee Russell-Thomas for thebeautiful GGA song. Writer and arranger, Chrissy Sykes; Lyrics; Dee RussellThomasExecutive's CornerA philosophical statement was made in a group I attend several weeks ago withthe person stating "no one is a humanitarian unless they have money." Instead ofbeing considered a "Humanitarian," this person proceeded with telling everyonethey are only volunteers. If this were true, how much money does it take to become a humanitarian? Of course, I disagree with this because everyone in that group is doing wonderfulhumanitarian work. "Am I a Humanitarian?"

Child marriage refers to any formal or informalmarriage of both girls and boys under the age of 18(although it disproportionately affects girls) is stillvery prevalent around the world. According to Girls Not Brides a child under the age of 18 is married every 3 seconds.Despite the laws set out by the Convention of the Rights Of TheChild and the Laws set out in 1948 by the United Nations inArticle 16 of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, statingthat persons must be at “Full Age” which is considered 18 yearsold when married, and that marriage should be entered into“Freely” and with “Full Consent” countries are still not enforcingthese basic human rights for children.Child MarriagePage 24www.mybodyismybody.comBy Chrissy Sykes

90% of births to adolescents take placewithin the context of marriage.Complications arising from pregnancy andchildbirth are among the leading causes ofdeath in girls aged 15-19.Girls who marry before age 15 are 50%more likely to suffer from intimate partnerviolence than those who marry later.Girls are most likely to have undergoneboth female genital mutilation/cutting(FGM/C) and child marriage in Sudan (53%),Somaliland (52%), Sierra Leone (37%),Burkina Faso (39%), and Ethiopia (36%)KEY Facts * Page 25Child Marriagewww.mybodyismybody.com *Female genital mutilation/cutting (FGM/C) describes any procedure thatintentionally alters female genital organs for non-medical reasons (Source: theWorld Health Organisation, WHO). It has no health benefits for girls. It can causesevere bleeding, problems urinating, and later cysts, infections, as well ascomplications in childbirth and increased risk of new-born deaths. *Source Girls Not Brides*

Child marriage is rooted in gender inequality as inmany communities it is still thought that girls areinferior to boys. It is a global problem as it happensacross different countries, religions and cultures. Child marriage has long-term consequences ongirls, including social isolation, domestic violenceand complications in childbirth, as a result of achild’s underdeveloped body. Child brides also havea higher risk of contracting HIV, sexuallytransmitted diseases, cervical cancer, malaria,death during childbirth, and obstetric fistulas. Psychosocial disadvantage 1. The loss of adolescence, 2. Forced sexual relations, 3. Denial of freedom and personal development Early marriage has profound psychosocial andemotional consequences for the child. Child MarriageBabies born from girls that are not fully developed are also at greater risk forpremature birth. This means that countries that allow child marriage arecommitting human rights violations. In Yemen, India, Afghanistan and Somalia girls as young as 10 are beingforced to marry men. Sometimes these men are much older than the girls.Page 26www.mybodyismybody.com

Poverty is one of the things that drives child marriage.Girls from poor families are more likely to be marriedearly than their richer peers. In Nigeria, 40% of thepoorest girls are married by 15 compared to 3% of therichest. · India has the highest number of childmarriages of any country, partly owing to the large sizeof its population, with 47% of girls married under 18 – around 24.6 million In order to make changes we have to educatecommunities about the disadvantages of earlymarriage. Girls need a chance to be educated, to thriveand achieve. By forcing girls to marry much older menwe are robbing them of their freedom.Page 27*Girls from poor families are more likely to be married early than their richerpeers. In Nigeria, 40% of the poorest girls are married by 15 compared to3% of the richest*India has the highest number of child marriages of any country, partlyowing to the large size of its population, with 47% of girls married under 18 –around 24.6 millionEven In the USA as of 2019, there was no statutory minimum age in 13 states.*Understanding State Statutes on Minimum Marriage Age and Exceptions Compiled by the Tahirih Justice Center (July 2019).Child Marriagewww.mybodyismybody.com

Page 28Examples of Early Marriage (Unicef)Rajasthan, India: The custom survives of giving very small children away inmarriage. On the auspicious day of Akha Teej, the mass solemnization ofmarriages between young boys and girls is performed. From the parents’point of view, this is the tried and tested way of organizing the passing on ofproperty and wealth within the family.1 A small but significant proportion ofthe children involved are under age 10, and some are mere toddlers of twoor three-years-old.Niger: A recent study by UNICEF in six West African countries, 2 showedthat 44 per cent of 20-24 year old women in Niger were married under theage of 15. The need to follow tradition, reinforce ties among or betweencommunities, and protect girls from out-of-wedlock pregnancy were themain reasons given. In the communities studied, all decisions on the timingof marriage and the choice of spouse are made by the fathers.Bangladesh: Many Bangladeshi girls are married soon after puberty, partlyto free their parents from an economic burden and partly to protect thegirls’ sexual purity. Where a girl’s family is very poor or she has lost herparents, she may be married as a third or fourth wife to a much older man,to fulfil the role of sexual and domestic servant.Albania: Families in rural areas, reduced to abject poverty by the post-Communist transition, encourage their daughters to marry early in order tocatch potential husbands before they migrate to the cities in search of work,and to avoid the threat of kidnapping on the way to school.3 Child Marriagewww.mybodyismybody.com

Estimates of future trends: According to the United NationsChildren’s Fund, the total number of women married inchildhood will grow from more than 700 million today toaround 950 million by 2030. By 2050 this number would reach1.2 billion.Child marriage among boysBoys do not face the same risks and consequences due tobiological and social differences, the practice is nonetheless arights violation for children of both sexes. Child grooms are forced to take on adult responsibilities forwhich they may not be prepared. He may be faced with earlyfatherhood and may be pressured into providing for the newfamily. This is almost certainly affect his education as well.Globally, over 115 million boys were married before age 18. Page 29What can we do?We have to challenge traditional narratives from within local communities,engaging the support of community leaders. Changes can be made byeducating and raising awareness about the detriment of child marriage andthe importance of prioritising girls’ education. We need to show what adifference this could make to the economy of the community by havinghealthier, more educated children.By reducing child marriage we can improve the health of millions ofyoung girls and boys around the world.Child Marriagewww.mybodyismybody.com

Many countries in our world are sufferingfrom COVID-19. There are many ways you can help including:

Water, Sanitation and Hygiene (WASH) for Everyone

and Childcare OrganizationIn the pursuit of fighting poverty in our society, Hope Ambassadorsand Childcare Organization has been taking drastic steps towinning this fight by empowering women especially widows andphysically challenged women.One of the Ambassadors, Munirat Jibrin recently came up with thestory of Tani Audu, a middle-aged widow and amputee, whosurvives by making donuts and a locally-made refreshing drinkmade called ‘zobo’. These she sells to children in front of a schoolin Kaduna.Life, to say the least, has been really harsh and hectic for Taniespecially in the face of a debilitating pandemic and an economythat is on a free downward spiral.OPE AMBASSADORS has, through the Northern Nigeria RegionalCoordinator, Munirat Jibrin, lent a helping hand. This is to alleviatethe hardship this hardworking but physically challenged lady ispassing through.Tani has been fending for herself by hustling in the harsh elementsof sun, dust and rain for over 20 years eversince the death of herpartner and the accident that maimed her for life.She detests the idea of resorting to Street Begging for survival.Hence the constant struggle to seek a living via a honest means.We can all help lift this determined lady out of penury and give hera life of hope, dignity and decency.

and Childcare OrganizationPage 37

and Childcare OrganizationRural dwellers find life so difficult, especially the unskilled widows,orphans and indigents. Many are desperate to start a business tomake ends meet, get a better school for education but lack offinancial strength to fulfil this has made many forego their dreams. Hope Ambassadors and Childcare Organization looks beyondgiving foods or money to these set of people and startedempowering them with materials that would be used to start theirdesired businesses.At Obosi in Anambra State of Nigeria, 50 women were empoweredwith grinding machines and Food Coolers in order to start makinga living either to boost or commence business in the foodsubsector On this occasion, 5 orphans from the local primary school alsoreceived scholarships to continue their studies to secondaryschool level. T-shirts and school bags were also distributed toabout 200 pupils and 100 women in the same community.It was a grand occasion and a great a relief to the people of thecommunity. The message of hope was a resounding success!Page 38

I have also worked as a Substitute Teacher for the Birmingham and Leeds City SchoolsSystems and the Holy Family Cristo Rey Catholic High School in Birmingham, Al, where I live. My experiences in each of these programs have helped reinforce my love and appreciation for our youngones' authenticity. When we show them how much we care about and support them, their responses arepriceless. We need to continue to advocate for and work with our youth. My experiences with our youth-ledme to write the book 'Change Your Mindset/Save Your Child: Saving Our Children by Healing Ourselves.' Most of my work life has been in the Corporate arena, where I completed my BS degree in BusinessManagement while working. My work roles included Computer Programmer Analyst, Senior BusinessAnalyst, Project Manager, and Quality Consultant before my retirement. As a Quality Consultant, I alsoworked with the Michigan State version of the Malcolm Baldridge National Quality Award Program as anExaminer and Site Visit Team Member and Leader. During that time, my love of training and consultinggrew. In my post-retirement life, I have worked as an Independent Trainer and Consultant. I currently work for ImagineLearning as a Professional Development Specialist. Imagine Learning is a developer of award-winning digitallanguage, literacy, and math programs used by K-12 students in school districts across the nation and the world. Iprovide training and support to the school districts' administrators and staff across Alabama that use these programs.
