What an inspirational and educational day. These 50 girls from many different villages live, study and work at the school while preparing to be teachers. Tyla introduced Genelle and Genelle started off the day with deep belly breathing and relaxation techniques. The facilitators (down front) took over.

While many are caught up in the cycle others are trying so hard to balance tradition and progress.
