Matameye Young Women's Work/Health Fair





Just a few pics from this final project I did. We took 15 young women (married or soon to be) from the bush from monday to friday. We organized a number of health sessions with a local health worker, taught them to cook tofu (to generate some income), taught them how to make more efficient cookstoves, and had lots of dance parties. It was really fun. A few of these young ladies were really fantastic.
This was really my last full project for work. Crazy. I don't have time to type my thoughts on this now, but its scary and surreal to be almost done. I'm in Niamey now where we're about to start our close of service conference. Then I'll sprint back to Matameye for about 2-3 weeks of saying goodbyes, back to Niamey to actually close my service, and then home. Mind blowing.
Oh, and I actually have some other pictures of my girls' group trip to Zinder but forgot to put them on my flash drive so I'll post them later.
These pictures from the work/health fair are of the girls napping, a health session, dancing, and hennaing...
