Girls Conference and Other stuff..

I haven't posted much about our girls empowerment conference which happened at my institute from June 14th-20th. It went well with 63 girls coming from over 7 schools. We taught them about HIV/AIDS, computers, income generation, goal setting, confidence building, etc. Nothing went horribly wrong though there were some major challenges along the way. And some of the volunteers made the national news (TV and newspaper). All in all it was a success! :)

In July I travelled around TZed because I had to attend some meetings for Peace Corps, so I got to see my host mama in Morogoro again and that was great. Also spent a few days in Dar- still don't know it well but had some amazing experiences along Kisutu St (Hindu Temple Street).
