Thanks to your donations, Global Girls team members will return to Grenada in March to set things in motion for five Grenadian girls to come to Chicago in July, 2018. We are super excited to report that our program has progressed to this point. Picutres of Ryonn Gloster in Chicago and updates on travel arrangements will soon follow.
In the meantime, the girls in Chicago are preparing for the visit by contacting schools so that the girls can attend a Chicago school for a day as Chicago girls did while they were in Grenada. We are also working with our University of Illilios Chicago partner to secure time for the girls to visit the campus and present their performance before faculty and students.
Our Grenada partnership will be ongoing even after the girls leave Chicago through letters and social media. A committee of Chicago and Grenada youth and adults are working on a return visit to Grenada and visits to neighoboring island partners for the Chicago Global Girls. We will establish Global Girls partnerships throughout the Caribbean islands by 2020.
