A senior producer and creative director, Ms Martha Adams, visited Santa Rosa de Lima English Secondary on the 4th of March, 2014.  Ms Martha Adams is currently the creative director of Girl Rising, the global action campaign in support of girls’ education.  She is also producing Girl Rising, a feature-length film at the center of the campaign, directed by Oscar nominated director Richard Robbins and executive produced by The Documentary Group’s founder, Tom Yellin.

At the talk held specially for students from Forms 4 to 6, Ms Martha Adams showed episodes from the documentary, "Girl Rising."  GirlRising is a film and movement about the power of the education of girls to transform societies. Girl Rising spotlights the stories of nine unforgettable girls around the world, striving beyond circumstances and overcoming impossible odds to achieve their dreams of education.

Students enjoyed the film and shared their thoughts with Ms Martha Adams during a brief but worthwhile Q&A interaction with students. The students were also reminded to treasure every learning opportunity and to think more closely about the concept of gender equality.
