Project Supporters,
Thanks in part to your ongoing support, the Develop Africa Sierra Leone (DASL) team held another girls’ mentoring program on the topic of Peer Pressure. Twenty-five young ladies between the ages of 10-20 years old in Freetown attended May's mentoring session.
The topic of peer pressure was discussed with Dr. Catherine J Cole, who is a certified medical doctor. She covered seven key components of peer pressure:
What is peer pressure?
Where does peer pressure occur?
How peer pressure occurs?
When does peer pressure occur?
Why does peer pressure occur?
Types of peer pressure
How to avoid peer pressure?
The girls all participated in discussing the seven topics and answered questions. It was a very informative mentoring session and they concluded with lunch and each girl receiving an umbrella.
Your support is continuing to change girls' lives. If you are not yet a recurring donor, we warmly invite you to consider setting up a recurring donation. Even a few dollars a month will go a long way. Consistent support is the key as this is the best way to ensure ongoing impact.
Please also share this with your contacts and invite them to consider supporting this worthy, ongoing project. If you have any questions, please feel free to email us at GlobalGiving@developafrica.org.
With great appreciation,
Amy and the Develop Africa team
