Awesome afternoon spent with our students conducting a leadership training which kicked off with an ice breaker game where they had to act like assigned animals in order to find their team (it was surprisingly a HUGE hit). We wanted to make the training "different" as the University approach to learning involves sitting at a desk and being lectured at for hours while writing notes. We also wanted to make sure the girls spoke up so each team had to have 1 girl report out in the end. English level is about 6th grade so we kept things simple. I was extremely impressed by their engagement, wisdom and ability to present. So proud of our 30+ students.

| Each student drew a picture of where they grew up and their family to demonstrate that their history is an asset not an obstacle for being a leader. Note this student writes that her mom and dead are dead. She's an orphan - so many of our students have mind blowing stories. |
 |
| Yep, despite having nearly any money, it is totally normal for a majority of Africans to have mobile phones (they are more like burner phones in the US - add minutes to them, it's not monthly plans that we have). |
 |
| Break out groups reporting out on their "top 5" traits of a positive/negative leader |
 |
| Each student had to write 2 traits they are proud of and 1 they want to improve. |
 |
| Our students LOVE "certificates" - very official. |
