Camp GLOW Donations Needed

I never thought I would be one to solicit donations from America but, this is what I'm doing. The camp will take place the last week in November so donations can be accepted through October.

The Central Province Girls Leading Our World (GLOW) Camp will educate and empower Zambian girls so that they can become positive role models in their communities. Many girls in rural Zambia face difficulties they are often unprepared to handle. Often times they are encouraged to marry and start families at young ages and few complete their high school education. Additionally, HIV/AIDS is a risk for many who have yet to be taught the ways it is transmitted and how to prevent it. Camp GLOW seeks to combat these issues by teaching both the girls and their teachers about assertiveness, self-esteem building, goal setting, facilitation skills, career planning, and the dangers and prevention of early pregnancy and HIV/AIDS. Girls will leave the camp more empowered and capable of teaching others about what they learned so that many others from the community benefit. One specific way they will do this is by creating girls clubs at their schools after they return to their villages with the expectation that after one school year, every girl in the club will have learned all of the GLOW messages. The girls who attend the camp will be expected to facilitate all meetings with the assistance of the teacher that accompanied them at the camp. These girls clubs, made possible by the education taught at camp GLOW will mean that girls in 10 different communities to become empowered by learning the skills and knowledge necessary to attain their potential for a healthy and self reliant life.
