Today was the first actual day of the camp! The morning kicked off with a little more planning before the Senegalese counterparts arrived. We then discussed the week with the counterparts and sent Jackie, Alys, and Erin off to get their girls. Luckily it rained before the girls got here which cooled Bambey down a LOT. Once the car showed up with the first group of girls I took the bus into town and picked up the Bambey girls. Once everyone had arrived the final number was 33 girls ranging from 12-16 years old. We gave everyone their room assignments and told them to meet their new friends. We had worked hard to split everyone up from the girls they came with. The rest of the night was "team" activities like making a banner and explaining the rest of the week. The girls all seem pretty tired/overwhelmed so tonight was an early night.
I'm exhausted already so I'm keeping the blog short. I'll update as much as possible!
