Day 5 of Resolve to Be Involved: Celebrate

By Merritt Frey, Executive Director

I am of the opinion that we don’t resolve to incorporate joy and exploration into our lives enough. That changes with today’s Resolve to be Involved. Over the last five days of the month, we’re going to help you out with a series of ways you can Resolve to be Involved with Mali Rising — five easy ways to help others. The five ways: Connect, Volunteer, Share Give, and Celebrate. We are on Day 5, our final day, here so we’re asking you to resolve to Celebrate!

How can you celebrate? Well, to check this resolution off your list all we ask you to do is to find a way to explore Mali’s culture a little bit and find a bit of joy in what you learn. Take a few minutes to learn and celebrate and we promise you’ll be better for it. And you’ll also feel just a little more connected to the people of Mali Rising — our students, their parents, the hard-working teachers, and everyone else.

Here are a few easy ways to celebrate your involvement with Mali Rising through food, music, and more:

We hope we made your resolutions just a little more interesting — and easy — this year. If you manage to do all 5 Resolve to Be Involved let us know! We have a special little present for you to celebrate.
