Got an Oscar hangover? Do good

You devoted untold hours to Oscar pre-shows, post-shows and fashion coverage. It's like drinking cheap wine and now, you have a major Hollywood hangover. To alleviate nausea, check out this celebrity-free story on Reuters.com about a Maasai girl in Tanzinia named Neema Laizer who hopes to be the country's first female doctor. Only 12 young women in Tanzinia have gone to college. Laizer left home in the middle of the night at age 13 with her mom because her father expected her to marry a 30-year-old man. (Girls as young as 6 are forced into wedlock.) The center that accepted Laizer and helps young girls is called the Emusoi Center. Here, they learn about running water and electricity and later get placed in secondary schools. Donate $50 and you have provided a uniform and shoes for one girl for a year; books and school supplies cost $70. For $300, you can put a girl through a nine-month remedial education program. It's like Advil for your soul. Learn more at Emusoi Center.
