Back to school and full of Joy!

Hello Friends!

It has been a wonderful summer for The Komera Project! We have been working hard building our programs and providing the best possible support for the Komera Scholars. They are heading into their final term of the school year as their year starts in January and ends in November. 

We were able to gather together in August for three amazing days for our Girls Academy for Social Change. The scholars always begin the academy with Body, Breath and Mind work. This is an opportunity for them to learn how to calm their bodies and minds and learn how manage stress in their daily lives. There's a lot of giggling but in the end it's always their favourite thing to do! 

They also talked about their non-profit projects that they launched at the beginning of the year. They were able to review finances and talk about providing updates to their donors. They were also able to sit down and discuss issues that they were facing and problem solve together. On the final day they came together to recieve some health education and discuss issues that they were facing in their daily lives. They continue to request coaching on how to deal with difficult relationship and also sexual reproductive health. 

We are looking forward to this December when everyone will be together for a week to celebrate the year. I am particularly excited as I will be there with the scholars during the camp! 

Thank you so much for your continued support of our work. We work incredibly hard at supporting our scholars and ensuring that they receive the support that they so desperately need - we could not do this without you.

Warm regards,

Margaret
