So how to girls become teenagers?

Faster and whether their mothers want them to or not?

Taking this into consideration - Barbara and I decided we might be able help ease the process a little bit. We decided to take advantage of the winter vacations by putting together a three-day workshop for girls ages 12-16. We discussed: Self-esteem, Leadership, Decision-making, Health and Protecting Ourselves. The pictures below are mostly from the last day when we discused the changes that happen with our bodies, knowing ourselves and protecting our bodies. At the end of the work-shop the girls all recieved Certificates for their participation and then agreed to help us run our ¨Little Kid¨Camp.

On our health day we had Danielle Murry as our honored guest speaker. She came to explain the uncomfortable topics of bodies, changes and protect with delicacy and most importantly...in GUARANI. This made our girls far more comfortable than Barbara and I ever could in Spanish. Some of these pictures are a little ridiculous - please remember we were trying to be a little goofy to take the edge off (ie. see my EEE cup size).

I experienced puberty - fast (and again)

Pre-workshop. Getting things ready. This would be one sad man!

Learning to identify all of the parts of the female body and why we have them

A little humor...and a new take on ¨pin-the-tail-on-the-donkey¨

Proud Profes - and our lindo Certificados!

This is just a small representation of the activities we did. (and the more humorous photos). Self-esteem is just kind of hard to photograph!
