HAppy March!

March is the month of luck and CBOB takes a moment to reflect on everything we are lucky for.
​by Christina Mouttet

​Happy March and happy spring! This month is all about celebrating luck and welcoming in spring. As you can see pictured above, spring is time to enjoy the weather outside with good friends! It is so important that amongst our March St. Patrick's Day celebrations we take a moment to step back and be grateful for everything we are lucky to have.
 
St. Patrick’s Day is celebrated annually on March 17, the anniversary of the death of the patron saint of Ireland in the fifth century. What started as a religious feast day in the 17th century has evolved into a variety of festivals around the world celebrating Irish culture with parades, lucky charms, music, dancing, and a newfound appreciation for the color green. Shamrocks, a symbol of Ireland, are associated with luck which is why luck is such a huge theme of this holiday. 
​So many things that we take for granted, like access to education and proper nutrition, are not available to many people around the world. Children especially, who have no power in bettering their situations, need our help.

  • 59 million children of primary school age are being denied an education
  • 65 million adolescents are without access to a secondary school.
  • 75 million children’s education has been disrupted by conflict and natural disaster
  • 15 million girls of primary school age will never have the opportunity to learn to read and write in primary school, compared to about 10 million boys.
 
These statistics are scary, but organizations like Children Beyond Our Borders Inc. are working to reduce these numbers to 0. It is times like this, surrounded by the energy of spring and festivities of St. Patrick’s Day, that we feel even more connected to our cause and the difference we are making in the lives of children. We believe that no child should be denied access to education and it our mission to provide these children with opportunities to find peace and prosperity with the proper educational tools.

​Fun fact: For every “lucky” four-leaf clover there are approximately 10,000 three-leaf clovers.
