What is Camp GLOW?
All over the country of Namibia there are bright potential leaders waiting for the opportunity to grow to their full capabilities. The Gender Awareness in Namibia (GAIN) committee of Peace Corps Volunteers is ready to give them that opportunity with “Girls and Guys Leading Our World (GLOW).” Camp GLOW is a week-long leadership development camp offered to eighty students, ages 13 to 16, from throughout the country. These learners will come together in the capital city in April 2006 to learn about gender awareness, promote self-confidence, explore future career choices, fight the AIDS epidemic, and develop leadership skills. Most of the campers will never have another chance to experience the other cultures within their own country, visit the capital city and historic landmarks of their nation, or interact with successful Namibian professionals on a one-on-one basis. This is the opportunity of a lifetime for them!
What can you do to help?
The cost of the camp for each student is US$ 50.00. We are asking for your help in sponsoring these children to attend Camp GLOW. For US$ 50, a child will gain a lifetime of experience and growth. If you do decide to sponsor one or more students, each child will send you a picture and a letter from camp telling you all about his/her experiences throughout the week.
How do I donate?
Please send your money (cash or check) to Peace Corps Volunteer, Betsy Adams, through her family at:

The money will be deposited into the Camp GLOW account upon receipt. With the money, please send your name and address so that we can send you a picture and letter in the mail. If you would like a receipt for your donation, please let us know and we will send that with the letter. (Remember, the camp does not take place until April of 2006, so you will not receive your letters until after that time.)
Thank you for your continued support and contributions! We look forward to hearing from you!

My apologies if the picture does not load...however, based on what I've learned about Camp GLOW, it is pretty cool and I will most likely be working at it!
