Jan 13 2015:
The focus on sexual harassment and violence was continued in this session. We watched a couple of videos regarding sexual harassment and domestic violence, then tried to define what it was and where, who and when it happens. Ms.Gloria and Shufaa are keeping in contact with a school called Ukwamaji, and they have asked for us to go an meet them face to face so that we can continue with the partnership is both parties agree. Communication with this school is also quite rough and not as well directed, this could be due to a cultural difference in the way things are executed. The Tanzanian culture is very laid back and while this has its own benefits, it can be a limiting factor when trying to establish a sustainable and effective partnership. However, it is possible for both our school and their school to adapt and create a unique partnership that will suit both cultures as well as get work done.
While Mariana, Shufaa and I work on creating a partnership with the school, Cecilia, Sara and Abi are working on the session we will have with the Ms.Park’s MS girls club. This session Abi brought in questions they had written down for us, and we read them aloud in order to figure the kind of questions they had, and we were able to split them up into 4 categories; school, friend drama, boy drama and racism. We will be having a session with the girls soon, and our plan is to make it an interactive sessions so that they are also involved in the discussion.
THE ENDOMETRIOSIS STOP MOTION IS DONE: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B9m3Hvxv8fQ We might be use this stop motion to reboot the campaign in March (endometriosis month) and work in collaboration with ribbon initiative. Personally, i feel like it would be good to set up check up sites with doctors from IST clinic, so that anyone interested can get checked for endometriosis.
