Girls Empowerment at My School

This past weekend we had girls empowerment activities at my school. The activities included making paper beads, HIV/AIDS, self defense, goal setting and self-esteem. Out of about 200 hundred girls, we were able to have 80-100 actually come and participate in the day's fun. I had four fellow volunteers come and teach the activities with me. We were all able to squeeze into my teeny tiny house for the weekend. It was truly a great time for the girls and they can't wait till we have another one. The boys were super jealous of the girls and now get their very own boys empowerment day next term;)
