Get it, Girl!

Back in April I had the privilege of joining an IGLOW Camp – Indonesian Girls Leading Our World. GLOW camps take place in many Peace Corps countries, and are a favorite project among volunteers here in Indonesia. IGLOW and IBRO (Indonesian Boys Respecting Others) camps have been held across Java, and we volunteers are pretty proud of them. Camps usually include games and activities that encourage teamwork, motivational speakers who inspire leadership, informational sessions on diversity and health, and a good helping of fun, bonding activities like talent shows and crafts. These camps are a great opportunity for girls and boys to break out of their daily routines and dream of more successful, empowered, and globally aware futures. Although I was just a tag along, jumping in to lead a few games, the volunteers of Madiun, Magetan, and Ponorogo did an amazing job planning this mixed middle-and-high school weekend leadership camp. To get a little glimpse into the work they did (and a cameo of yours truly), check out the video below!
