GPI put together a year skills programme for some girls who were no longer in school education. The programme consisted of two skills - leather sandal making and sewing. I arrived just in time to see 22 girls gradutating from the programme and hopefully beginning lives with more economic power. The ceremony was great fun - I'm beginning to see the patterns in ceremonies here, there are important social gatherings, with a 'top table' of distinguished guests!
I also benefited from the skills they learnt and have a lovely nigerian style dress made for me! I just hope I don't put on anymore weight whilst here as they like their dresses tight!!!
