Greetings!
After a little hiatus I am back! With the last project of my service about to begin. I am talking about Camp GLOW.
You may recall me posting earlier* (a little less than a year ago) about the Camp GLOW I and some other PCVs put on in Kampot Town (for a refresher, check out this video** https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DpoEIMT-NwA&feature=youtu.be) which was the first one Kampot PCVs had brought to Kampot Province. Now we are on the verge of the second Kampot Camp GLOW!
Camp GLOW is a stellar example of the legacy of Peace Corps service. The first such camp was established by Peace Corps Volunteers in Romania 15 years ago. Since 1995, Volunteers in 60 countries have established similar programs to promote the empowerment of women. The concept has been adapted and developed since originally conceived, with one group of Volunteers passing along the lessons learned to the next group of Volunteers who serve as counselors and mentors.
The girls had a terrific time last year and this year we are looking forward to putting on an even better camp!
In order to complete this dream, we need some help! We are trying to raise money for the camp in time to have it at the end of May. Every little bit helps! Please donate if you can, or pass the link on if you can't.
