This afternoon, the girls explored the "circles" of their lives, nominated and voted on their Take Action project. The remainder of our meetings will be used to execute and learn about the project.
We discussed the Healthy Commitment cards in relation to our family circle--healthy eating, exercise, and good sleep were some of the things the girls had acted upon in the last weeks.
We listed possibilities for taking action in our school, community gardens, people and animal shelters. Almost all of the girls supported an action with animals and ultimately decided on a project involving the Silicon Valley Animal Control Authority (remember the cute dogs and cats??).
They then wrote group letters to our friends there asking for general direction and permission to clean cages, feed, and entertain the animals. Can't wait to find out what we hear!
