Making Paper Beads at Camp Glow

Yesterday I spent the day with some fellow PCVs at Camp Glow--a week long residential leadership camp for girls funded by a Peace Corps grant. I did crafts with the girls and we had fun creating beads from paper. We used old magazines and glue.....

First cut some long skinny triangles..

then roll the triangles...

add a bit of glue..

Here is fellow Peace Corps Volunteer Carrie with her bead all wrapped and glued--we wrapped them around a pencil or pen...then just slid the bead off...
and before you know it, you have a lovely strand of beads...




The craft activities were interspersed between sessions lead by PCVs on relationships, setting goals, and conflict resolution (led by a guest speaker). I am giving a big hand clapping for Carrie who organized and is directing the camp--a big job which she has done superbly.
