Girls are Precious

I wish you could have heard them sing.

50 girls in harmony, “Girls are precious, that’s our motto.”

6 Zimbabwe DFG Ambassadors of Women’s Health from the October training came and sacrificed time and their own funds to get to the training for 50 girls. Unheard of in nations where things are so tight… but that is what they did. They also conducted training on Tuesday and last Thursday. No wonder they have done over 3000 kits since October!

They arrived at 9 AM and did not leave until almost 5 PM. They moved around the room expertly guiding. The girls sewed and sang and celebrated their new kits. One girl said, “I loved the lecture. I learned so much. I am so happy I learned.” The girls didn’t want to leave.

We took plenty of photos and video footage. Wait until you hear them share from their own mouths what they used before. Technical difficulties in posting them quite yet, but we’ll get it up and posted for you! Thank you SO much for all you make possible. Can’t wait for you to see it for yourself.
