Empowering youth

Continued with Virtues Empowerment for Youth on Wednesday with about thirty young adults. We sat under shade trees and shifted as the sun moved. Several of the young people are interested in becoming 'Ambassadors' in their community and we plan to have them join us in further training.

Next week we will work with warders and guards from the remand school in the prison and with more teaching staffs.On Monday we complete the distribution of books for Read for the Top. Because of the chaotic political situation and many disruptions to schools, some of the contests will be deferred until later in the year.



Story books for a primary school

The last of the re-usable sanitary pads were delivered to the Secondary School running the pilot. They will be taking in their first year students in about two weeks. The teacher in charge tells me that the feedback from the girls is good. Both she and the principal said they have already noticed an improvement in attendance of the girls.
