Each day we had a few morning sessions on lifeskills topics:
Monday: leadership/volunteerism
Tuesday: stress, reproductive health/contraceptives, and gender
Wednesday: self esteem, HIV, and gender based violence
Thursday: goal setting and decision making
Discussing consequences of decisions.
Afternoons rotations included crafts, journaling, and soccer games with an HIV focus.
How many of these balls can you juggle?
We all juggle school, sleep, friends, sports, hobbies.
When you add sex, you could also add STIs, HIV, and pregnancy.
All of the sudden, you are juggling a lot more things!
Collages during craft time!
Evening activities included a movie, a carnival and a talent show.
PCVs practicing for our talent show act: singing, the cup game, and juggling. At the same time.
We had singing,
dancing,
audience participation,
and a tradition, PCVs singing Lean on Me.
On Friday, we had a certificate award ceremony.

Camp GLOW!
Was awesome. In a nutshell.
There were some closing up activities. We did attempt to clean ALL the things.
The girls were super excited to ride home in this nice bus. Cue singalongs and tired PCVs.
And loading up for the final leg of the journey home.
I can't promise sustainability of GLOW camps with respect to getting teachers to plan their own, completely independent of Peace Corps. But the teachers are interested in using these lessons in their classes, and these girls had an amazing week they will always remember. Win in my book!
