In
“The Skerrit,” little Sheryl thinks she is going to die in a
house in the ocean. She thinks she deserves such cruel punishment for
her truancy. She also believes that no one, not even her mother, can
rescue her from the tragedy that awaits her. So she stands alone,
scared, powerless and silent before a powerful adult her culture has
led her to believe has the absolute right to hurt her.
Like
Sheryl, thousands of girls around the world are led to believe that
they deserve to be ill treated, dream-deprived, uneducated and
silenced. Let us reverse that legacy for the silenced girls of the
world by helping Sheryl speak loud and far. Make her voice reach at
least one million people.
We can do it. Together. With your help, Sheryl will no longer face
the world alone. With your support, Sheryl’s voice will be heard.
You
help broadcast Sheryl’s voice when you tell 5 people or more to get
The Talking
Palm at

Then
tell each of the five or more to tell 5 others and so on.
On
behalf of the once silenced Sheryls of the world, I thank you.
