Several volunteers and I are in the midst of planning a big camp for girls in our region, but we had to change the date to make sure our funding got in on time. Silver lining: I got to help at another volunteer's weekend camp in Ranaka!
The amazing Karla, leading an energizer about bumblegum.
Lisa, the mastermind behind the camp. Also the one that had to deal with a venue change less than 24 hours before the camp. She's amazing.
A fun group of volunteers to work with!
I did 4 sessions for 4 groups on emotional health, helped with 3 sessions on communication, and helped Luis lead a STEPS film discussion. Tiffany and I also taught lots of bracelet making, resulting in embroidery floss EVERYWHERE. Other sessions included goal setting, puberty, teen pregnancy, diversity, gender and gender based violence, and peer education.
We also had a talent show, with much singing and dancing.
I can juggle... that was my talent.
Of course, lots of energizers and games throughout.
The last morning breakfast got delayed for several hours, and when we tried to do games, several girls said, we are being assertive. we don't want to play, we are too hungry! So only about a third played with the parachute... but at least they remembered what assertive was from the communication lesson!
A great camp overall.
