Yesterday, our Social Justice group visited Golden Gate Middle School (a partner UNESCO school with St. James Collegiate). Groups of students presented "Give Girls a Chance: Barriers to Education" to all grade 7 classes. Our students spent several weeks preparing for these presentations which featured the videos below. These presentations were meant as an introduction to some of the barriers to education that young girls face in rural Africa - for example, Kenyan girls will miss up to 20% of their classes because of menstruation. We will be presenting to all the classes in George Waters Middle School tomorrow. We are promoting the "Winnipeg for Wasichana" bake sale that is taking place at both St. James Collegiate and Golden Gate (as well as a number of other schools in Winnipeg) in support of the Wasichana Fund. All money raised will go to #padsforchange. Check out this website and video here for more information.
