After many meetings and debates over what would be served
for tea, the teachers and I pulled off a GLOW (Girls/Guys Leading our World)
camp for the standard six students. Our camp was held over two days and Modisi
teachers taught sessions on HIV and high risk behaviours, leadership, and
gender. Sustainability is the name of the Peace Corps game, however, more often
then not that is an impossible standard. Although I took the lead on organizing
this camp I am confident that my coworkers could have succeeded without me.
Initially we tried to get funding from an outside source, which fell through,
however, the organization promised to put room in their budget next year for a
GLOW camp. At this point that is only a promise and the budget will not be made
until the end of the year, but regardless I am proud to say that I had a hand
in that and that my coworkers will continue to make these camps happen, or at
least I can tell myself that. A job well done Modisi teachers!
