Maridadi Women's Festival

The table at the Maridadi festival and some amazing women!


This past Saturday I volunteered at the Maridadi Women's Festival working at the table for the Rape and Sexual Abuse Care Centre located at the Arusha Lutheran Medical Centre. The festival started Thursday and Friday with a fashion show and the proceeds from the weekend are going to the Rape and Sexual Abuse Care Centre.

Basically I walked around the tent that the festival was located in and gave everyone teal ribbons that represent sexual violence awareness. I met so many interesting people who are working to empower women.

(More information about the Rape and Sexual Abuse Care Centre here http://www.almc.habari.co.tz/ALMC-Abuse.pdf ... it is a PDF that you need to download).
