hard rocks and strong girls

Paid a visit to the weeping rock Kit Mikayi with the students of Maseno University. Astonishing nature just outside the city of Kisumu.





As a part of our project we created a memory game with Lake Victoria as the theme. A way to try to spread awareness about the conditions of the lake. Golden Girls Foundation were kind enough to invite us to try it out on their little girls. At Golden Girls Foundation girls are encouraged and empowered to take place, raise their voices and be proud of themselves and their sisterhood. 

There was also some postcards being made and poems being written. Later on we were joined by the teenagers of the foundation. We had a nice chit-chat with them about what it is like to be a women back in our homes and cultures, what it is like to study, have our own home and family. What our troubles and struggles were, what we thought was hard and how we dealt with it and how important it was to talk to each other, listen to each other and have each others backs.
