Dear Project Supporters,
Thanks in part to your ongoing support, the Develop Africa Sierra Leone (DASL) team held another girls’ mentoring program in December on choosing a career. Thirty-two young ladies between the ages of 10-20 years old in Freetown attended the mentoring session. Lunch and transportation were provided to the girls in attendance as well as a care package including sardines, mayonnaise, noodles, and custard.
The purpose of the session was to create career path guidance for the girls. The guest speaker gave a 3-hour presentation on the following: the definition of career, the importance of career talks, the types of careers with examples, and selecting a career path.
The speaker encouraged the girls to have passion for whatever they do, according to her having passion for what you do is a significant force that helps one to succeed in their undertakings. The girls asked a series of questions and all expressed gratitude for the important information provided at the mentoring session.
Thank you for your ongoing support towards empowering and educating girls in Africa. You are truly making a difference for girls with your generous support. Please share this with your contacts and invite them to consider supporting this ongoing project.
Making a monthly donation is the most effective way to help girls get their education, but every dollar donated makes a difference! If you are not yet a recurring donor and would like to sign up for a recurring donation go here.
If you have any questions, please feel free to email us at GlobalGiving@developafrica.org.
With great appreciation
Amy and the Develop Africa team
