Primary Girls Forum Box
I was so surprised to see it full of questions at the first forum! A lot of them were about the same topic like HIV, periods, or feeling towards boys. The language barrier was tough and since they are younger they don't know english very well. i had two female teachers translating and answering questions so it was ok. I want to find an outside woman who speaks swahili to lead the next one with me. I feel like the girls did learn some things, but because there were so many (about 250, 5 grade levels together) jammed into a room, i'm going to have to think of a different way to organize it. It also it WAY to hot at that time of day to have that many people in a room....i felt like i was going to pass out...literally. Haha

Before: Kitchen
This is probably the best picture for the actual color of the walls thru the whole house before painting. They were grey and gross...
After: Sitting Room
So fresh and so clean clean!! Thru the door is the bathroom and shower room and then the hallway to the spare rooms.
After: Sitting Room
My bench looks so nice next to the new wall color! The lighting makes the paint look darker here, but it's still the same color.
After: Hallway to Spare Rooms
The paint looks whiter and lighter here because of the light. The paint brightens up this whole area that used to be really dark. The sun reflects a lot now.
