Serving dinner at Family Night with Girls Inc of Alameda
On Friday January 15th, children grades K-5 from Horace Mann elementary school got to enjoy a fun-filled family night sponsored by the Girls Inc of Alameda. They were greeted by 2 volunteers and went straight to their classrooms to show their after-school projects to their parents. Not long after, dinner was served in the cafeteria. Both kids and adults chose what type of salad and/or pasta, and sat according to homeroom. Not long after, the kindergarteners walked up to the stage and lip-synced for everyone! More performances followed, ranging from a yoga routine, to a Mexican song, to a hula dance. Parents and volunteers took photos and videos as well as cheered the performers on. The exciting night ended with a large raffle in which the kids and their families won fun prizes. As the event came to a close, the cafeteria was cleaned up by volunteers that were proud that their effort to make it an amazing family night was a great success.
s a Girl Rising ambassador in the East Bay, I took the cause of girls’ education to Logitech, a technology company in the Silicon Valley. It was a huge success. Any small contribution makes a difference, and Logitech made a huge one by hosting a presentation and allowing me to talk about the challenges preventing girls worldwide from going to school to their community of professionals.
