HANDS UP FOR HUMAN
RIGHTS
TEAM AVO, BURKINA FASO
Celebrating United Nations Human Rights Day here at AVO!
This last week we held our awareness session on hygiene and the importance of education with almost 100 children, who visit AVO for the community meals every two weeks. We then held team-building games and arts activites to try initiate a buddy system amongst them. Most of the children had never even asked each other's names before, so we set up a mural of their hands and names - to make everyone child proud to be a part of Team AVO.

We also arranged to hire a professional dyeing technician to come and train AVO's women here in Koudougou, for whom the primary source of income is their dyeing and weaving products. The training lasted a full two days, and we were lucky enough to watch, take part, and keep the kids distracted for a while! We hope to keep supporting AVO to provide IGA training for vulnerable women, to help them better support themselves and their families.
