Soccer and library marketing

This morning, contrary to expectations, we ended up getting up early again and catching a taxi to the village sports complex, where a soccer tournament was going on. We met up with a Peace Corps Volunteer who works with the District AIDS Campaign. Today she was on duty for the area's Gender Committee, educating folks about domestic violence, which is prevalent and hush hush in Botswana. We handed out fliers and posters and condoms--and information!

All the sponsors got to make a little speech. We hadn't prepared anything, but were grateful to have a chance at the mike for Ashley to talk about the new facility and encourage people to come by. We had one college teacher stop by to express his interest in volunteering, and one man wanted to know what kind of services might be available for his 3-year-old. We also did a bunch of networking with community groups, the police, and the community. A success, and fun, too.
