Congratulations to the volunteers and students in Leskovik, Gramsh, and Fier who applied and won small GAD grants to implement community development projects created at the GAD Leadership Conference. In Leskovik, the PCV will be helping students develop and perform a theater piece that explores gender development issues in Albania. In Gramsh, the PCV will assist students in preparing and presenting artwork and poems that speak against drug abuse and raise awareness of the ensuing social ills it creates in an assembly on "Teens Against Drugs Day". And finally, in Fier, the PCV will work with students to hold an city-wide essay writing competition that answers the question, "Imagine a world where equal rights for women and men exists. What would this world look like?". All essays will be posted on Facebook and will be judged by a local author, an official from the Education Office, and an official from the Office of Art and Culture.
Thank you again to these volunteers who are working with students to campaign for gender equality!
