Hi, team! I want to take a moment to ask for your help.
Peace Corps Swaziland is part of a broader PC effort called GLOW, Girls Leading Our World. This is a project that brings girls together to work on self-esteem, leadership, education and girls empowerment issues. Although I haven't yet begun a GLOW club in my village, this issue is near and dear to my heart. So, so, so many girls will benefit from attending clubs where they learn life skills and socialize with one another. It's an enormous boost to their self-esteem, and the SWZ is a society where women often don't have as many opportunities as men. An annual weeklong camp gives them a chance to meet and enjoy each other's company. This is HUGE, especially as many of the girls get few opportunities to leave home and go to camp.
If you can spare any amount of money, it would be an enormous help. One U.S. dollar is worth more than 8 emalangeni, and a few dollars makes a difference. Please, please take a minute and contribute. The link is below.

Thank you! I will make sure to get photos and information about how the GLOW camp goes so you can see what your money helped accomplish. These girls will love it, I can tell you that much.
