MP Lemire gave me a bit of a ribbing for talking about the red BlackBerry Pearl. Right now, there are millions of young women just like us, trying to find their way in the world, trying to make the most of the opportunities and to get beyond the barriers. These devices, these connections, make a world of difference for little girls who grow up in poverty, like my sisters and I did, and try to get out of the cycle.
The program we have developed is meant to provide a pathfinder service for those smaller communities, like MP Lemire's, that do not have the capacity to apply for these projects on their own. They call a number and on the other end of the line engineers and project managers can help.
