New COS date

Hey friends,

A couple posts back, I mentioned that my COS (close of service) date will be 23 July. Well, that has changed slightly--to 31 July. A bit more time was necessary because I really wanted to help train the new group of volunteers, who arrive in Burkina next week. I'll be working as a trainer with them for two weeks at the end of July. Just to update you all! Thanks so much for all your support everyone...

COS trip: Aug-Sept 2008

There are a lot of photos to wade through here, but I hope it's at least somewhat entertaining. I've seen a lot in the past month or so! Am in the process of writing descriptions for all the photos, so bear with me.

Dori girls' camp Jun 2008

The three GEE volunteers in my province (Jenni, Yaneth, and myself) planned a girls' camp in Dori during the school vacation this year. After much discussion, we decided to invite girls who had just finished primary school, but were at high risk for not continuing on to secondary school. We asked the principals of the 6 primary schools in Dori to choose the girls for us based on this criteria. The camp was five days long, and the themes for each day were as follows: environment, Life Skills (focusing on self esteem and role models), health, and careers. The fifth day consisted of wrap-up and a closing ceremony, where the participating girls were given certificates and T-shirts. Our provincial director of girls' education was an immense help in the logistics of our camp, and she participated as a role model speaker for the girls as well.
