This July, I'm holding a 4-day summer camp for girls in my region of northwestern Benin. The camp is called Camp Success and is targeted at girls in the first year of secondary school (6th grade). Me and other local volunteers and community members will work with 25 girls to improve their confidence, enthusiasm, and optimism about their future. We'll talk about malaria and AIDS prevention, healthy relationships, study skills, and good nutrition; play games and do team building activities; visit a computer center to learn typing skills; and last but not least most definitely have fun! I am financing this project through the Peace Corps Partnership Program which allows a volunteer to solicit donations from family and friends to fund their project. For those of you who have already donated, I sincerely appreciate your contribution and generosity. If this is your first time hearing about Camp Success, please consider donating! Any amount is helpful, and yes your donation is tax deductible. The website listed below has more information and is also where you can donate.
Thanks!
Molly
