For the past week students have been buzzing around the classroom in preparation for the Child Rights Proposal Fair. There was a great deal of teamwork going on. There were some concerns about too many big assignments in other classes that were due at the same time, but in the end the students pulled through and managed their responsibilities. About 20 of the students stayed after school for multiple days in order to rehearse their child rights Drama performance, which premiered before the Proposal Fair.
As the fair came to a close I met with the leaders from our partnering NGOs and they shared their excitement for the ideas the students had generated. Each leader wanted to enact several of the proposals offered to them. These ranged from redoing their websites, to advertising on radio stations reported to be best for their target "market". In December we will move toward our next steps.
