Girl Power Report For May 2015

Bishop Sulumeti Girls looking forward to lifting national titles this term!

May ushers in the second term for schools and the  long rainy and cold season! It’s also the term that schools compete in ball games (Term 2B), including Football, Basketball, Netball, Volleyball, and Handball. We are glad to know that most of the Girl Power Club members in Siaya, Busia and Nairobi Counties are very active participants in sports.

Asango Primary (Siaya County) enjoy netball

In Siaya, the sessions picked up in good time and the only challenge they are facing is the weather, so some schools were very difficult to get to. The wet season makes it difficult to assess some of the schools because they are far and the roads become inaccessible. Motorbikes that go to this places charge expensively in this rainy season.

In our discussion on the topic on the reproductive system the girls needed more information on

·      The hymen.

·      Demonstration on condom use.

·      Virginal discharge.

·      How to clean the outer part of the female reproductive system.

When discussing bodies’ emotion and sexuality, there is need for the following information on

·      How to control and express our emotion.

·      How emotions affect our health.
