"Have
mercy on our daughters", a pleading Nigerian mother’s appeal which went
unnoticed by the terrorists in Nigeria. Now all she wants her daughter back.
Local authorities in Nigeria were extremely slow to react and the international
communities are showing their support following legal processes. All of that
are excruciating slow for all the Nigerian families whose daughters were abducted
in April 2014.
Thus, on
Mother's Day 2014 D+ thought to join the international communities and start a
campaign Holding Hands For Our Girls.
On 1 June 2014, 12.30 PM local time
we request everyone around the world, irrespective of religious, racial and
social background, to hold each other’s hands and upload a picture of your meeting
on social media and hashtag it #BringBackOurGirls.
All you have
to do:
1.
Hold hands of another person or persons, family
members or friends
2.
Take a picture of your hands or full picture of
you holding hands
3.
Upload them on your personal social media page
4.
Hashtag the picture #BringBackOurGirls
Yes, merely
Holding Hands For Our Girls will not bring our girls back. But D+ will ensure our
collective voice is heard and our actions will demonstrate a global support
that will certainly make the local authorities in Nigeria take prompt actions.
Also most of
us will not be able to be in the front line but a team of international
soldiers currently are. A simple action of Holding Hands For Our Girls will
certainly encourage the international team of soldiers to do their work with more
courage as they are taking risk of their own life to free our girls.
“It always
seems impossible, until it’s done”—Mandela. That should surely encourage you to
take a small action on 1 June 2014 and make the global voice heard.
Do not
underestimate the power of Holding Hands For Our Girls and let's hold hands for
the 276 abducted Nigerian schoolgirls and mark your calendar for the following
event
What: Holding Hands For Our Girls
When: Sunday, 1 June 2014, 12.30PM
Where: You can do it at your home, at
work, at public places or wherever it is comfortable for you
D+ remained
a small non-profit news media to publish positive news and heavily relies on
public donation and do not have a budget to support your meetings. But here in
D+ we have determinations to change the world and we request you to join us.
This is the first such initiative D+ is undertaking beyond publishing positive
news as the horrific event of abduction and the tears of the Nigerian mothers touched
our hearts.
Finally, D+
and its global volunteers say this out and loud once again, #BringBackOurGirls
and we believe our opponent is not stronger than us all together. And to the
girls, You Are Not Alone.

update on Holding Hands For Our Girls visit our Facebook Page and hope by 1
June 2014 we will receive some good news.
