Girls Rule!
September 22, 2014 5:27 pm
A couple of months ago, we decided to rededicate ourselves to creating responsible, dedicated, hard-working citizens. From this, the modern JBFC Girls Government was born with modest, yet impactful goals: to give all of the girls a way to more clearly articulate their views and opinions, to improve extra-curricular activities at JBFC, to give the girls a chance to influence their own lives and living conditions, and to provide leadership training to young women in a country in dire need of young, effective leaders.
–Permaculture. The girls have developed and implemented a new system to help produce their own food and diversify their food supply (rice, beans, and cabbage instead of just rice and beans!), to work together as a team, to reduce JBFC’s food budget (for savings and for use on other activities- hint, hint matron appreciation), and to learn about permaculture.
