This is the group, day 1 (about 4 weeks ago) Since this photo, I have almost 20 girls in group!! Don't worry, they aren't as glum as they look...it's just really hard to get Ugandan's to smile for the camera. 
This is Sylivia, student at Kaliro High
Christine, student at Bright Future S/S
Lydia, student at Good Hope Primary School
Winifred, student at Budini Girls Primary
Colline, student at Budini Secondary School
Linda (and myself, at home), student Budini Secondary School
The following are a few pictures from International Women's Day (March 8). It fell on a Sunday, perfect since that is when KAYC meets. We had a great time, played some games and talked about role models. This also gives you a small chance to see the room that Bukumankoola has allowed me to use for my following time here for this club. Its packed full of desks and somehow dirty, but it's big and has a chalkboard and easily accessible to most of the young women..it works!!
They look bored, huh? This was when i put them into groups to talk about role models and women they admire. Sample of women they look up to: women MP's (Members of Parliament, in Uganda), Queen of England, mothers, teachers, etc. 2 of the girls said they want to serve as Women MP's, many want to be nurses, and one hopes to be a lawyer.
Reading up on some dire facts about women world wide...
Henry, my counterpart, catching up some women's herstory...
Theme's for International Women's Day
Global Theme: Women and men united to end violence against women and girls. Uganda's Theme: Increasing girls education as a prerequisite for development.
And just so you don't think I'm all work and no play...
One of 3 Sipi falls.
Look closely... Im wearing shorts...saucy.
Taking local brew, and texting, with some NTC lecturers...
The Kaliro Crew (Ok, really just Mbonga, Dan, 2 other NTC teachers and me...all of us taking too much).
