Hello guys; today marked another day with WVED and today, we had the empower her program. This program is one that provides a platform for young girls to grab skills and knowledge through which they can add value to their lives, generate income and a source of living. Today, the kids were engaged in knitting/designing activities which included bags. They were all engages in the activity and they all really enjoyed the activity. The output too was quite good too as they made quitea good number of bags and amazing designs.
The younger children engaged in drawing and most of them chose to draw images of their favorite fruit. Some of the images were hilarious and i could not help but laugh. Our director even said one kid's banana drawing looked like a cutlass and we all burst into an enormous laughing session. It is really nice to see how they kids enjoy every activity making use of the opportunity to have a lot of fun.
This activity is supposed to run weekly because a few of the kids are to attend a program in New York, USA come october 13th and some of their designs will be advertized and used as exhibits. They are trying to make as many as they can so that they will carry it along with them to the program...
Everything is being put in place to prep them for theirr travel and the program as a whole. Right now, all they have to do right now is focus on making more of their designs and knittings.
With the way i see everything going at the moment, I have a positive feeling that everything will go quite well. They are excited to attend the program and are giving their all into making more of their designs and knittings which i think is going on just well and there is no call for alarm. The only issue right now is the delay in the travel papers of some of the kids that are to travel but we hope it will be figured out soon.
Until then, we just have to continue with our work and preparing they kids for the road and the program in New York. They will be representing us afterall and we have to make sure they do that in grand style of course.
