Join us on Twitter Wednesday, March 9 from 3 to 4 p.m. ET as we chat with Lee Ann Womack about her involvement with Join My Village, an initiative that aims to fight global poverty through the empowerment of young women in Malawi. Submit your questions to the iVillage Twitter handle (@iVillage) using hashtag #LeeAnnJMV.
"As a mother of two girls, I see the opportunities that education has created for my daughters’ future," says the singer (who happens to be nominated for top female vocalist of the year at the Academy of Country Music Awards this April 3 in Las Vegas). "I believe that every girl in the world has unlimited potential and by supporting Join My Village I know we can provide girls with opportunities to learn, achieve and improve their future."
In addition to joining Womack on Twitter Mar. 9, you can join in her crusade simply by viewing and sharing stories on the Join My Village website. With every click, companies like General Mills and Merck donate dollars to send Malawian girls scholarships, bring female teachers to villages, help women launch businesses, and more.
"We believe that if more people are simply aware of the issues, stories, and people of Malawi -- even if it’s only through watching a video or listening to a song -- more positive, sustainable change can happen," says Ellen Goldberg Luger, vice president of General Mills Community Action.
