Hey there. Girls camp INSANITY the last few days! I'd been running around getting things ready and was SO excited for the girls to actually show up! My girls got here just fine without me which was fabulous (Thanks Lucy and Wendy!!) and so did everyone else! Yesterday afternoon with the welcome ceremony and everyone arriving was a bit crazy. I have this morning 'off' but I'm going to head over there shortly to jump in on the craziness, hopefully things have settled down a bit.
One quick story - I brought one of my girls to the bathroom after they arrived, and she literally had never used a flush toilet before. First she looked at them, looked behind every door for a hole in the ground which she was used to, and then when she used it didn't know to flush it. It was a fabulous experience for her, I do believe. :) I am absolutely sure she is not the only one among 50 girls from villages across Benin who have never used a flush toilet. This is a huge week for some of these girls!
Peace. K
