Vanessa Grant Trust

My moms friend is working with the Vanessa Grant trust. They have a number of schools in Rongai. They have a vocational school and also one for mildly handicapped children. My mom suggested that I should make them pads and I'm going to start that project during christmas. I would love to travel there and give them the pads myself. I still don't know how many they would need, so I need to have a few meetings and get all the facts together.

The importance of pads.

My mom showed me this video clip about the taboo on females menstrual cycle. I found it very interesting and I was very happy about the clip on the reusable pads (Afro pads) in a school in Uganda. This clip makes me even more reassured that this is a good and needed project and gives me even more energy to continue. It feels good to be a small part on a solution to this very big problem!

Poster finally done!

Composers club disturbances!

We have not been able to practice because of the same issues that we are not able to go to school (the Pope is visiting and the school is closed). Operation Smile dance, we were supposed to perform has also been postponed. We changed the days for our meetings due to the high School play schedule, and now wee meet on Fridays. We have started making a new song for the dance, but not yet managed to finish it. We have missed two practices and some people never shows up, so it is a bit difficult. However, I really enjoy it, and hope we can continue to meet more frequently soon. There is a bit of a stretch before you get going after not meeting for a while, so the weekly meetings are really important.
