The Institute of Jamaica will host its first monthly Lunch Hour Concert for this year, with the screening of the feature film, ‘Girl Rising (2013)’, on January 23 at 12:30 p.m. Girl Rising is a global movement for girls’ education, based primarily around the film. The film presents the remarkable stories of nine girls from nine countries: Sierra Leone, Haiti, Ethiopia, Afghanistan, Peru, Egypt, Nepal, India, and Cambodia. Each girl had her story written by a celebrated writer from her country and voiced by renowned actors. Their stories reflect their struggles to overcome societal or cultural barriers. The stories deliver a simple, critical truth: ‘Educate Girls and You Will Change the World.’ See more here.
