Girls Camp

A big thank you to all that donated to Camp Opportunity and supported us and the girls. It was a big success!
The three girls we brought from our school to Camp Opportunity
They decorate their sleeping places

The girls learn how to make hammocks out of trash!
Salah is very interested


Our group photo with everyone's new tie-dye shirts! Pretty cool.

I start my session about making shea/moringa soap
Looks like a science experiment. The protective clothes are to prevent burns from the caustic soda.
We pour the soap
 I talk about the benefits of moringa
The girls learn about the best ways to protect themselves from malaria
Our girls are experiencing the freedom of creativity-- for maybe the first time!
Sarah does certificate presentations on our closing day.
Salah had a great time.
Perhaps the best quote of the camp:
Sarah: So girls, now the camp is over, what was your favorite part?
Salah and Rachia: (after some consideration) Madame, everything!
