Girls Leading Our World… also know as GLOW, is a chance for PCV’s who are all in a close vicinity to work together to help educate, encourage and empower the next generation of girls to help lead our world.

With many setbacks (primarily due to our budget getting cut in half and not allocated to us on time) the Middle Volta Peace Corps Volunteers were finally able to host the Mid Volta Camp GLOW a month after we had originally planned. But even with all the setbacks we decided that this was our opportunity make this camp better than ever.

In the prior weeks to the camp 10 PCV’s in the Middle Volta area started to invite Junior High School Girls (equivalent age of 7^th graders) to attend a 3 full day, 4 night camp to talk about leadership, education, peer pressure, sex education, HIV/AIDS, and livelihood skills. We invited Senior High School Girls (equivalent of high school girls) to be the leaders of the girls. We had empowered women come speak and encourage these girls, we brought in nurses to talk about sex education, and we brought our own personal experiences, knowledge, ideas, and goodies for an amazing 3 full days.

The Stop Motion Movie says it all.
