Anglican Girl Delegates to the UNCSW

Here are the Anglican girl delegates to the UNCSW. (Actually, a couple are missing from the photo.)
I am sure New York was psychologically challenging to many of the girls, but especially the tribal.
I will just submit the bios the girls sent in when applying to the UNCSW. I'd rather it be in their own words and let them speak for themselves, rather than put words in their mouths.

The girl on the far right wishes to not be named.
Faith Nenkai Meitiaki from Kenya--Faith is from Kajiado Kenya. She is in the 11th grade at Alliance High School. She is from one of the Pastoral communities of Kenya, the Masai. In the past, she has attended conferences on women and girls both in Kenya and outside Kenya. She knows that she has some of the information required to be in this conference in their support of girls and women.
Delores-Mai Macauley--Delores is from Newark, NJ. After school, she plays on a basketball team and is part of a book club. She is part of her youth group, which is part of a resilience project, and spends Saturdays handing out liturgies at the local basketball game.
Angie Chan Nga Ki--Angie is from Hong Kong, is in the 11th grade, and attends St. Stephen's Church. She hopes to learn more about how international organizations work so that she may play a part in helping needy people around the world and accomplishing God's will on earth.
Anne Wenk from New Work--Anne is 14 years old and is in 8th grade. She sings in the Brooklyn Youth Chorus and she is very excited about A.W.E. and CSW.

Steffi (Deepti Steffi)--Steffi is from India and is in the 9th grade. She has a big sister and a little brother. Her passion is education for girls and believes that through education, many problems that affect girls can be solved.

These girls became much more articulate and focused as the days progressed and they learned from other girl delegates about the issues facing each in their own countries. Education for all--especially where girls are often denied education--became very important and was repeated at many of the events at the UNCSW. Also, enforcement of laws that have been passed to protect girls, and creating a global awareness of the atrocities happening in each country to girls and women, even here in the U.S. Again, education to the general public makes a difference.
