#TeamRhino #SaveTheRhino #SaveFive

Raising Awareness to protect our #WildLife, Please take the pledge: I would like to join #TeamRhinodotorg in the fight against rhino poaching to ensure a future for people and vulnerable wildlife on our planet: I will never buy or promote any products made of rhino horn, as I know that demand drives poaching. I will be a committed advocate to support rangers and others on the frontlines of rhino conservation. I will share my passion about rhino conservation and recruit my friends and family to become involved. I will urge my government to continue championing efforts to stop rhino poaching at home and abroad. I will stand with IRF to help save rhinos from extinction. teamrhino.org

My Nana is An Advocate
She #Volunteers at The Paul Robeson House
I color pictures of the museum and Mr. Robeson when i’m there
I asked her, why is she an advocate
And she replied
“you may not understand today
But you will tomorrow.”

    Alicia,
    I love this so much! You are a powerful role model for your family. I think the photos add a lot to this story. In book form, this could use information bubbles and a glossary for children at the end that teaches them about these locations you reference and defining the role of advocate. This story has not been told and I think it's important for children to know the work advocates do. It's inspiring because it becomes a model for what they can do, even in "small" ways to continue progress in their own lives.
