We had 5 schools participate with 20 students from P4 to P7. I think one school must have misunderstood the qualifications; when i saw the youngest arrive, i thought she had just come along to escort her big sister to Camp. She was 9 years old and did great keeping up with the 12 and 13 year olds during our activities.
We started out with "Big Booty", a game the girls love playing if only for the name! After a few other "Get-to-Know-You" activities, we started with our sessions. The day was full! The usual fare of Self-Esteem, Goals and Women's Health information. The counselors (a mix of university students and primary teachers) gave them plenty to do, so the day flew by and suddenly it was 5:30.

soooo,
ReplyDeletei must have been really, really tired...
i do remember thinking how fun for the girls to
be on university grounds as much as for the university students!! the other half of my comments...no memory of what i had written!
geez!
i bet your 9 year old 'camper' is still
talking about her day at the university!!
i can only imagine the 'whirlwind' of activities you are trying to complete, or leave in capable hands...i know you are 'living' this right now,
but for written word sake~
hand out all the smiles,
share as much laughter,
give as many hugs,
listen to their dreams,
take pictures,
take walks,
give yourself moments to dig,
and at the end of these
special days in Uganda,
thank God,
for all He created,
out of love,
and for all you have,
for all you have been able to give...
for all you will carry back...
because His love abounds
in hearts opened to each other's needs~
these girl's hearts have been touched
and will never stop 'glowing'...
thank you for being you~
WEBALE! Mi Muwala Wange
con carino, be good~
