Roxy and Kay's First Kedougou Girls' Club Schedule:
-name tag decoration
-name game (I was by far the worst!)
-human knot game (didn't work so we ended up trying to explain how three tangled rings showed our inter-connectedness... not that I can say any of that in french...)
-stereotype excercise: girls places words (ex. marriage, violence, education, love, farming, cooking, money, sex) under either homme or femme, according to their automatic response. Then we discussed why we had those connotations and the difference between biological and societal traits or abilities.
-Collages about ourselves! (mostly from old Economists and Newsweeks, but we had a few popular cosmo's which we had to edit before distributing)
-Presentations
-Lunch!
-short rest to give a few girls time for prayer
-gave little notebooks and pencils and talked about club's purpose (social craft/game time, and to learn about careers for women)
-phone tree set-up
-SUCCESS
The french was a struggle but the girls were so great that it still worked with flying colors.
