Ayak Anguei Girls School Once Again a Beneficiary of 2011 Half the Sky* Fair THE WOMEN'S COLLEGE AT THE UNIVERSITY OF DENVER The 2nd annual Half the Sky* Fair is a lively celebration of the light and hope that women represent around the globe. Project Education Sudan is one of three designated beneficiaries of the two day event. Our three year sister school relationship with The Women's College has produced bookpacks, panties, orphans uniforms, and seeds for the girls' school. The Women's Communication Network and Lambda Pi Eta, at The Women's College, are raising funds for more uniforms and the Girls Leadership Development Pilot Program. An aspect of the pilot program is healthcare, which includes distribution of washable, reusable sanitary napkins, HIV/AIDS education, and tailoring instruction for a vocational skills class being offered at Ayak Aguei, developed with the girls and PES.
