Project Report | Nov 22, 2016

Hello dear friends and supporters,

Through the Colorful Girls circles and now the sports (volleyball) for girls in some locations, we have continued to see the girls grow and bloom, increasing in confidence and in critical thinking. This was shown in their participation in events related to the International Day of the Girl held during October and into early November.  Through the activities girls expressed their perspectives on trafficking, violence and abuse and the role girls and women can play in improving their status and situation. Some of the past Colorful Girls participants were involved in the orgnization of the  International Day of the Girl events held in their communities.  These girls want the girls who are currently participating in the Circles to have the same opportunties as they had and to benefit from the same lessons. We have seen how the girls have quickly taken on a leadership role and express their opinion and desire to see Circles in the communities they had to leave due to internal displacement. 

Thank you for being a part of providing great opportunities for the girls and continuing to build off the experiences from participating in the Colorful Girls Circles.  

We're planning on holding camps for the the girls in 2017 and your continued support for their activities is greatly appreciated. 

Best wishes,

Pen
