Young Women Activity
On the second week of the holidays, my Young womens and I had planned a activity together. We went to the Botanical gardens to do a photo shoot. We took tons of pictures with our partners, classes and our individual photos. Our pictures looked amazing and the effects on the pictures were just making us look more beautiful.
Soon after, we went to the museum to have a look around. As we entered into the museum, we went into the women exhibition and it showed many women and stories back then. Looking around the room made me emotional, because it tells us how many women are slaves and how they got paid less back in the days. Also many women were assaulted or they were assaulters. Next we went to a cultural exhibition where we find many special things from our ancestors and who they were. We walked into this lab filled with special weapons from my own country, Samoa. We saw many weapons that were created with coconut fibre, coconut trees and tiger shark teeth. This was so amazing to see many things from my own country that I didn’t even know about.
Later on, we went to the swimming pools to have fun together. Even though many of us didn’t swim, we still had fun and we ate A LOT of food. We played many games in the pool and had races with each other. We kept coming out of the pool and kept switching pools everytime. This pools was great fun.
After that, we all went to Mrs Tofa’s house to prepare dinner for our parents who were coming over and created our movie about what we did today. We all gathered around with our parents and opened ourselves with a prayer. Each young women shared what they enjoyed and why they were special. It was one of the best days during my holiday.
