What a day! We have managed to fit so much into today - the second day of training is complete. We had a slightly older group today, mostly the older girls from yesterday but a few new girls as well. We started the day with a few more leadership activities before starting our morning session on advocacy. The girls worked really hard and had a lot of ideas about what issues they should stand up for and how they can speak out.
Our afternoon session involved a lot of first aid activities which we think the girls found really useful. They are all now well trained in the recovery position, things to put in a first aid kit and the importance of washing hands properly amongst other things.
The surprise of the day was that our dresses were ready! We are all very pleased to have had traditional dresses made for us and are looking forward to wearing them.
We stayed at MAGGA in the evening to have a campfire with some of the girls. They shared some of their songs and dances with us and we shared a few of our songs as well. We particularly enjoyed the songs that we both knew, especially because we couldn't join in when they sang in Chichewa!
We are looking forward to tomorrow's training but are sad that it is our last proper day in Blantyre. I am sure further adventures are waiting to greet us when we arrive in Lilongwe.
GOLD love,
Alice and Team Malawi x
