The First Step

On Thursday 20/05/09, we started our first training course in  blogging and social network. The team went to All Girls Association in order to prepare the training hall,  hang the banner, check the PCs and ofcourse we did not forget to prepare the break.

    Dear members of this project,

    I wish all the best for all of you, facilitators and participants. Go on with this important project. I really feel happy to know that more girls and more people could have access to use blogs to communicate their own realities.

    Warm regards from Bolivia,
    Cristina
