Welcome to the world of spotty internet access,bucket showers, and a moodly electrical grid. A bucket shower is a refreshing bucket of water from a lge. vat in the bathrm that you pour over yrself after soaping up, taking water conservation to new heights.Try it to be in touch w. most of the world, and eco-friendly.Have been introduced to the county Sch Supt.,Hon. Julia Duncan Cassell,women leaders throughout Buchanan, and church and business leaders, all of whom are participating in our workshops, seminars, and meetings. Several men's groups are being integrated into our planning/schedule b/c the boys are feeling left out. And let's face it, girls, we can't move forward on the equality of men and women unless we work together. During our planning for developing a gender studies program and women's ctr.at the newly chartered Grand Bassa Community College, a need had emerged to separate the women's sessions based on age. Seems the younger women have issues they want to raise that they're reluctant to share in the presence of older women. So we've split the sessions, calling the younger women- "Learning Women"- and the mature ladies-"Wise Women".
The prospects for girls and women here are bleak but that's why many of us are here contibuting women's empowerment projects at all levels. For those of you following news for The Fast Project, I have just rcvd. the go-ahead fr. the Supt. to join w.a 'learning women's' group-"Girls of Destiny" who will help implement the project in 3 schools selected by the Supt. As soon as I hear fr.the Honorary Consul in ATL (+ "100 Black Women"), we may expect aid in reaching KC for the personal care products.
Yesterday we were taken to the fabulously serene Princess beach for the entire Sunday afternoon, crashing waves, young people playing beach games,blissful. This mostly coastal nations' beaches are yet undiscovered territory by the developers.
Stay tuned for my next internet access.
