My Girls

So this should just go on record. My girls’ rock! I am really impressed by how much they’ve come around this year. This past month we did a fund raiser for our Girls Empowerment Club and we raised a total of E350! We did two fundraisers. The first was “Civvies Day”—students paid E1 to wear their regular clothes every Wednesday. My girls were in charge of checking every student at assembly and collecting money.

The second fundraiser was School Superlatives. Students paid .50 cent for a voter ballot; there they nominated a boy and a girl for each 18 categories—categories included best eyes, smartest student, the naughtiest, and most likely to be famous. We made over E150 that round! Then after my girls selected the top three people for each category the students voted again, but this ballot cost E1. Again we made over E150 in this round. The students had so much fun doing this small activity; it was a nice break for them since this is their examination period. 

The money we raised will go for an end of the school year bash Dec 2 which will also celebrate World Aids Day. We hope to raise even more money during this event so we can have a retreat with the girls next year. I am especially proud of the girls because they have been doing this all on their own. They came to me with all these ideas. They even spent two full weekends in a row counting the ballots, and now they are anxious to be throwing this bash! I am glad I have their help and support behind this as I am going to be busy with several other big events coming up.
