Girls club went pretty well for the first time today. Sana
took the lead so we didn’t do too much but it was a lot of fun. I helped her
hold up some of her posters and she taught the girls about the difference
between sex and gender. They were a little quiet at first but once the session
got going they were very talkative and we got to laugh a lot. There were a few
girls that had babies so Franki took them outside and it was ridiculously cute!!
:P
The girls did an activity where they had to tell us words to
write on chart paper that were things woman could only do because of their
biology and then on another paper things that women “can’t do” because of
social constrictions. Some of it got a little lost in translation but overall
the girls enjoyed themselves and Sana did a really good job of getting them
active. Next session tomorrow we’re going to teach them about debating and they
will be having a debates next week on some of the things we discussed.
After we were finished Franki, Linda, Sana, Jenga and I all
waited for our cab and Franki showed us his rap song that’s on the radio and it’s
actually really good!! When I get it on my ipod I’m going to try to put it on
facebook or something because I love it hahaha. They have music here called “bongo
flava” that’s just rap in Swahili but the music itself is great!
We’ve had a good few days and I bought my first Kanga today
so I’ll get a picture of it when I get it tailored and can wear it J It’s got pretty birds
on it!! Loll
Lots of meetings tomorrow morning then girls club, and after
HBC on the weekend it’s shopping time!! :D
