Shimmer Sparkle Shine Project Behind the Scenes

I have a 2nd girl in mind right now, but my mom brought to my attention Dove's Self Esteem Program. I went to their websites to find tool books to build girls confidence. http://www.dove.us/Social-Mission/Self-Esteem-Toolkit-And-Resources/
They have them for all age groups, and I love their ideas. For the 8 - 12 girls they had some great ideas. So from now on for each girl, we are going to do an activity or two to help build the confidence inside, as well as the outside part. My favorite for the 8 - 12 girls is Boost Book;
Decorate a notebook or sketchpad together and keep a log of inspiring quotations, compliments and positive comments other people have made about the girl in your life. Tuck in a few favorite photos or mementos that remind her of moments when she felt confident and beautiful or just had a great time. Whenever she has a moment of uncertainty, bring out the book to get her self-esteem back on track..
I like this for all age groups, and I think I may start my own to set an example that everyone has problems of confidence so the girls understand.

In the 13 - 18 I like the activity of Positive Playlist;
Create a soundtrack of songs that she enjoys and that make her feel good. She can listen to it to get pumped up for an important event like a soccer game or dance recital, or turn it on whenever she needs a lift.

They also gave some great statics on Self Esteem Problems. People don't think of it as an issue, but these facts will help stress the global impact of this issue. Only 4% of women around the world consider themselves beautiful (up from 2% in 2004)
• Only 11% of girls globally are comfortable using the word beautiful to describe themselves
• 72% of girls feel tremendous pressure to be beautiful
• 80% of women agree that every woman has something about her that is beautiful but do not see their own beauty
• More than half (54%) of women globally agree that when it comes to how they look, they are their own worst beauty critic
It is a GLOBAL problem, and it is something I deeply care about. Through CAS I want to make the Shimmer Sparkle Shine Project amazing! and something I might do forever.
In the morning I plan on contacting Dove to see if they could help me in anyway. They are a big organization, but it is worth a chance.
One last thing, if I want this organization to get somewhere I need a logo. So here it is!
