HERE YE, HERE YE, THOSE IN KARMA DEBT:

From December 6th to the 11th, three of us Central Province Peace Corps Volunteers (Emily, Ted, and me) will be holding a “Girls Leading Our World” camp at a posh private school in Mkushi. Volunteers are sending two girls and one teacher from their villages to attend. They will attend sessions about assertiveness, confidence, HIV, setting goals, etc, as well as participate in fun activities such as canoeing and wall climbing. The girls will then return to their communities and start a girls club at their schools with the assistance of the attending teacher.

Camp GLOW has been held by Peace Corps for five years and has been a great success. Peace Corps has changed their grant guidelines, however, and girls camps are not covered, so we need to raise money through donations. This means we need friends, families, churches, girl scout troops, etc, to donate money to fund this year’s camp. We need to raise $3,000 by the end of October. Please pass the word along if you know of anyone who may be able to contribute. Donors can give money online through www.peacecorps.gov under the “Donate Now” link. The project is listed as “Camp GLOW” or can be found under “Emily Alexy.”

Thank You!
