The well-being and dignity of Girls

In the village of Piplantri, India, residents combat cultural prejudice against daughters by planting 111 trees upon the birth of every baby girl. The trees symbolize the dignity and wellbeing of the girls, and the community makes sure each girl receives a proper education by depositing 10,000 Indian rupe in a dedicated fund.

Affirmative prayer: Infinite Presence, I give thanks for the gift of each and every soul on the planet, recognizing their inherent worth and sacred placement in this life. Thank you, God, forever, Amen.
