All over the country of Namibia there are bright potential leaders waiting for the opportunity to grow to their full capabilities.  The Gender Awareness in Namibia (GAIN) committee of Peace Corps Volunteers is ready to give them that opportunity with “Girls and Guys Leading Our World (GLOW).”

Camp GLOW is a week-long leadership development camp offered to eighty students, ages 13 to 16, from throughout the country.  These learners will come together in the capital city in May 2005 to learn about gender awareness, promote self-confidence, explore future career choices, fight the AIDS epidemic, and develop leadership skills.  Most of the campers will never have another chance to experience the other cultures within their own country, visit the capital city and historic landmarks of their nation, or interact with successful Namibian professionals on a one-on-one basis.  This is the opportunity of a lifetime for them! 

The cost of the camp for each student is US$ 50.00.  We are asking for your help in sponsoring these children to attend Camp GLOW.  For US$ 50, a child will gain a lifetime of experience and growth.  If you do decide to sponsor a student, the child will send you a picture and a letter from camp telling you all about his/her experiences throughout the week.

Please send your money (cash or check) to Courtney Bauman, through her family, at 201 West Main, Tishomingo, OK 73460.   The money will be deposited into the Camp GLOW account upon receipt.  With the money, please send your name and address so that we can send you a picture and letter in the mail.  If you would like a receipt for your donation, please let us know and we will send that with the letter.  (Remember, the camp does not take place until May of next year, 2005, so you will not receive your letters until after that time.)

Thank you for your continued support and contributions!  We look forward to hearing from you!
