Day 3: Wednesday, 18th March

Our day kicks of by seeing the Beads For Life project. This was followed by an extremely surreal experience visiting a bead village where enroute we walked through a school. Within just a few seconds each of us had at literally 100s of children clinging onto our hands. The genuine excitement and happiness on their faces is something that we will never forget. Our day was rounded off with another communication skills workshop. This time we taught 3 of the PHD women how to further deliver the workshop to their colleagues. Things began rather bleakly with seemingly little enthusiasm of the task at hand - infact all the signs were there telling us to give up but then we finished the session asking the women to deliver the workshop back to us. To our astonishment the women relayed every single point we had told them plus more - executing the workshop with charisma and intent. They had surpassed all expectations and grasped onto the opportunity with both hands.
