AGSP Mentor Training

The AGSP Mentors gathered at FAWE Zanzibar on August 5th, 2010, to hold a discussion on how to use the mentoring guide of AGSP. The 19 mentors out of 24 in Unguja attended the discussion and talked about the following:

- Becoming a good mentor
- Gender and girl's rights
- Importance of girl's education and empowerment
- Leaders and leadership
- Adolescence, reproduction, and relationships
- Marriage and family
- HIV/AIDS
- Jobs, professions, and careers.

Mentors discussed how they can empower girls to stand up in front of the public and talk about their problems and be able to solving these problems themselves. The mentors also brainstormed ideas of bringing together AGSP scholars from different schools but under the same mentor. Competitions, debates, and elocutions were part of the activities discussed.
