"Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things you didn't do than by the ones you did do. So throw off the bowlines, sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover." - Mark Twain

Camp GLOW 2012

In the middle of July, 80 girls from all over Macedonia came together for a week long summer camp. This year we held the camp in Tetovo at a new school that had just opened.  It gave the camp more of a conference feel, but the girls still had fun doing typical camp activities: singing songs, eating s'mores, playing games, attending classes, etc.   Myself and two other PCVs were the ones running and organizing the camp this year; and we were pleased by the outcome. The girls had a great time!

Here are some pictures:

Each group got to pick a night to have s'mores under the stars.
 The American Ambassador for Macedonia came one day.

It was a great week; and I am so glad that I got to be a part of it and GLOW in general.  GLOW has been a big part of my Peace Corps service.  I have meet some amazing girls that will become great leaders.  I am sad that my time with GLOW is over, but can't wait to see what these girls will do in the future.

Until next time.....Keeping GLOW-ing!!!
