WriteGirl Inspires Teens in Uganda

As part of the international expansion WriteGirl has undertaken over the past two years, WriteGirl has begun facilitating creative writing workshops with a group of girls at a school in Kampala, Uganda. We held our second online workshop with them on Sunday, January 29, 2023. Read a few comments from participating teens:

I wish we could do this everyday because of the unity… The way everyone has expressed their feelings, their thoughts. This is so wild. It's so epic. I've loved every single part of this workshop.

One thing I've learned from this workshop is that you don't need to scratch your head in order to get what you write about, ‘cause anything around can be your source of inspiration. Thank you very much.

I just wanted to say thank you for your time, and for the love that you have shown us. Though you have never met us, you give us your time. And you gave us time so that we can express ourselves. Thank you for the opportunity that you have given us so that we can express our feelings and how we feel around our fellow friends and our fellow teammates.

We are excited to continue deepening our relationship with these young women in Kampala.
