GAD Camp, February 8-11 @ Tati Yupi
KUDOS to the GAD Camp Committee - Lorien, Evangeline, Sarah Fouts, Orlando and Joan - and NGO Pre-Alpa for laying the groundwork for an amazing experience for jovenes and volunteers alike, all set against the beautiful backdrop of the Tati Yupi bio refuge near Ciudad de Este.
Now that it's all over, we want to help next year's group do it again, even better! So that leads to...evaluations. At the camp, participants turned in written evals to Evangeline and Volunteers hashed out their initial reactions.
Rachel offered to prepare 3-month evals, to track the impact of the camp experience that the jóvenes have brought back to their communities.
With the huge organizational effort put into the camp now behind us, the slate is cleared for renewed focus on ongoing projects and lots of possibilities for all your ideas!

GAD PC PY meeting minutes ¤ Nov 24, 2007
Anuncios
The next GAD camp meeting will be on Monday, December 10, 11:30am at 4D. If you are interested in getting in on the final planning for February, bring your ganas to planear and stay for the gelato.
The GAD general meeting will be on Friday, Jan 25th, 5 PM at the PCO - a must-attend for all those participating in the GAD Camp (February 8-10).
We sold out of the first batch of GAD calendars with photos of Paraguay by RPCV Emily Horton. Pick up yours for 35 mil at the PCO Coordinator’s office.
Yup, that’s right - all eyes are now on Ko’erogua Mita Pyahu, aka GAD Youth Leadership Camp facilitated by Paraguayan NGO PreAlpa. The oh-so-guapo committee has reserved the oh-so-lindo camp site of Tati Yupi near Hernandarias, near CDE. We are all set on the SPA grant, and got Michael E’s approval for the site and travel to CDE!
There are only 2 more volunteer slots available as of today, November 30! Here’s how to get involved in the camp:
1. Seek out 1-3 youth in your community who are active, potential leaders, preferably under age 20 (officially between ages 15-25). Email the names of the youth you’re planning to bring to Lorien AND Evangeline – bneirol@yahoo.com AND evan77sk@yahoo.com Please include Name, Cedula #, Age, Sex, and whether or not you feel this person could lead an activity, charla, or dinamica. Please note, we have space for some volunteers to bring 3 youth. So if you have 3 candidates identified, please send info for all. Be sure to mention if you are interested in giving a charla and/or facilitating with a Paraguayan youth participant or adult contact (include names and affiliations in email).
2. If you don't already have the official invite, camp committee will provide the document that contains all important details at next camp and general meetings. Each youth needs to pay or raise 50 mil (or more but no less) toward their pasaje to the CDE bus terminal (PCVs pay their own way). From CDE, there will be 2 pre-arranged buses to take participants and volunteers to the camp site. Rosana emailed out a muni pedido form to the GAD list to help youth request pasaje funding from their muni.
3. The committee is also going to send out a food pedido form so we can get some donations toward our camp grub. We need help from all GAD volunteers to conseguir food donations and identify what items and quantity of items you might be able to bring (Desayuno, Media-manana, Merienda). More specific info will be communicated to everyone after December 10th.
4. Bring complete charlas & dinamicas/ice breakers to share with the group at the camp meeting December 10 and come to the general meeting January 25 to get in on the ultima hora noticias!
If you have questions or concerns before the camp, please feel free to call or email either Lorien 0971-901-886 or Evangeline 0971-901-881.
Also fully T-ray charged is the PATF young women’s scholarship program – the deadline for the 2008 academic year has now passed. Any youth you helped apply will be contacted by phone if they’ve been selected by December 21! If chosen, they will be required to attend the ceremony to receive the first half of their scholarship money on February 8, 2008.
Speaking of plata, we’ve raised $6125 dollars as of November 30, that’s from our initial goal of $10,000. Kudos to you all and super-kudos to the PATF committee. 1 bit of feedback from a non-GAD PCV was a request to pass out a 1-page print-out to all PCV mailboxes with essential facts on PATF and how to donate.
If 2 project-guasus weren’t enough, we are making the group’s presence known with the GAD Gabber Newsletter – Send in your interviews and articles on gender issues in Paraguay by December 14 to Evangeline at evan77sk@yahoo.com.
Felices fiestas to GAD, and to GAD a good sandia (or melon, or mango, or clericol…)!

GAD PC PY meeting minutes ¤ Sept. 28, 2007
Break out the yerba and t-ray equipo, because it's time to catch up on another edition of the GAD meeting minutes.
Despedida
GAD took a hit when our calidad-er than calidad coordinator Julie Silvernail left Peace Corps last week due to a family emergency. Julie, you rocked. And we won't drop the ball on you!
Avisos
- The PATF scholarship funding campaign is underway! Get all of your friends, family, former coworkers and other Stateside contacts to make their tax-deductible donations via secure online transactions on the official Peace Corps website link below:
https://www.peacecorps.gov/resources/donors/contribute/projdetail.cfm?projdesc=526-178®ion=latinamerica
We need to raise $10,000 by December 1 in order to get the scholarship girls their funding in time for back to school!
- Now available – the GAD Paraguay 2008 calendar with gorgeous photos by RPCV Emily Horton (her works were featured in the 40th anniversary exhibit at the CCPA). Save up your 32 mil now and pick one up at the PCO or at Thanksgiving. Buy a whole bunch and solucionar your holiday gift giving en seguida.
- In lieu of a traditional GAD meeting, we're going to have a GAD powwow over lunch at the PC Thanksgiving event at Hotel Tirol in Capitan Miranda near Encarnación, Saturday November 24.
And now for the feature presentation…Joan kicked off the meeting with some buenas noticias!
GAD raffle – With powerhouse prizes such as Rosana and Orlando, we raised a cool 120.00 Gs at the Duck Soup Seedbank benefit concert.
Calendar fundraiser– Gariety took the reins on layout and got the job done. Joan and Jen have gotten the first 25 printed. If we sell them all, we'll get more made for Thanksgiving!
The GAD Gabber – props to Evangeline, Lauren and Joan for publishing the inaugural edition of the GAD PY committee newsletter, complete with leadership camp news, PATF beca update and other juicy tidbits – make for your mailboxes and let us know what you think! Email all GAD Gabber feedback to gadparaguay@gmail.com. Your feedback will help us decide how often we'll be sending out the newsletter – current thoughts range from bi-monthly to quarterly publication.
GAD in the Kuat – Nov 10 is the deadline and the topic is Paraguayan perspectives – which makes our ongoing gender issues interview project a match made on match.com. Here's what to do:
1) Download your copy of the interview guide from Sharepoint, search your email for the electronic copy sent out to the mailing list or look for it in the December Kuat. Or feel free to do it your way and come up with your own questions.
2) Interview your contacts, best Paraguayan friends, whoever you feel may have some share-worthy perspectives.
3) Once you've done your interviews, send the cream of the crop on over to gadparaguay@gmail.com. One of the officers will review it and submit on your behalf to the Kuat.
Youth Leadership Camp – The guapo GAD camp committee has secured us a site for the February 2008 campamento! The place is called Tati Yupi near Ciudad del Este. What's more, the committee has wrapped up SPA grant número uno, with a budget accommodating 36 Paraguayan youth participants and 18 volunteers. One difference from last year is that the youth participants most likely will have to fundraiser a portion of their travel costs to Tati Yupi, the issue being to asegurar that they have taken their own initiative to participate at the camp. We discussed the possibility of using GAD funds to pay for 1 or 2 participants who would have difficulty raising the money for whatever reason via an essay contest.
PATF Young Women's Scholarship – 2008 applications are now available at the PCO! Pick one or two up if you have a deserving candidate (good grades + community service) from your site in mind. FYI – applicants will need to make an extra 2 copies of the recommendation page. Now let's get $10,000 (yes, that's USD) raised by December 1! We discussed the possibility of more effective messaging for the fundraising campaign and settled on follow-up emails with suggestions to add a personal message and alternative content formatting.
In other beca news, on October 5, the 2007 recipients attended the 2nd workshop on topics including leadership, budgeting and career plans. Kudos to the beca committee – Lorien, Evangeline, Lara, Sarah Fouts and Julie for the guapaite-ness.
New Projects
GAD manual – The idea is to compile GAD resources for our posterior PCVs – charlas, dinámicas and tangible strategies to deal with gender and development issues in site. Here's the brave new committee – Carole, Allison Whaley, Mila, Seth and Joan. Resources include PCO GAD manuals, Kuña Aty org (3rd year PCV Liz), leadership camp charla presenters (various) and Decidamos NGO (Seth). The plan is to get preliminary resources organized by December 15 before many take off for the holidays. So far, yet so soon…… and so-long!

Come one, come all to the next general meeting on Friday, September 28 at 4PM (NEW TIME, moved from 2PM) in the PCO conference room.
September 28 is also the date of the second beca taller for 2006-7 recipients, to be held all day a partir de 8 AM at the Gobernación Central in Aregua. Contact Julie for details.
Now for the meeting - First up, our priceless Pres Joan shared info from the PC Ecuador GAD website (http://www.projectsforpeace.org/gad/index.htm )
- A PC PY GAD website is a potential goal (is anyone into Web design?), but for now we have the PC PY GAD blog to catch up on all the GAD gab.
- Jen Cheng will be emailing out interview guides to this mailing list so that PCVs who want to understand more about the PYan perspective firsthand can use our questions (translated into Spanish and Guaraní thanks to help from our staff adviser Josefina and the lovely folks at CHP). Any great responses you get would be a welcome GAD newsletter or Kuat GAD section submission! - which brings me to the next point-
- Newsletter vs. Kuat - why do we want a newsletter when we already have our own section in the Kuat?
Here´s the breakdown-
Newsletter - geared toward all-Peace Corps and international audience, well-rounded source on all things GAD
Kuat - geared toward PCV and PCO staff audience, better for lengthier submissions
- Beca update by Julie
If you know a 2006-7 recipient of our young women’s scholarship from Dept Central, please let Julie know if the girl would be interested in being interviewed.
Evangeline and Julie are preparing to send out this year´s funding proposal for 50 scholarships (10 more than last year!) to Washington via the Partnership program. Look out for the brochures to take to your sites and how to help fundraising info around the end of Sept.
FYI the second taller for current beca girls will be all day on Sept 28 (same day as GAD meeting) at the Gobernación Central in Aregua. Contact Julie or Evangeline if you are interested in participating, especially if you have a winner from your site.
Pirapire update
It´s been hard to get the swear-in/peace out goods pirapire activity going because of timing restrictions. So this fundraiser is not canned, but on hold - G19ers, start saving us your stuff!
We are thinking of putting together a calendar or planner in time for Christmas - Ceci, with her infinite wisdom of experience, recommends we get this going by September/October - Joan and Jen will get on our treasurer Orlando´s case on this one. Another idea is a co-ed PCV/GAD pageant or auction at Thanksgiving (taking notes, O?).
GAD Roundtable recap - turned out to be a stellar event, with a turnout of 36 volunteers and 10 staff members. Kudos to Julie for her calidad coordinating efforts. Roundtable results - let´s do some interviews with PYan contacts, figure out how we can balance out representation of men and women as charla and other event presenters, let´s focus on men´s needs, self-esteem and use traditional PCV activities like teaching English classes as a segway to working on gender issues.
Due to the event´s success, we´ll be looking into reconvening about twice a year.
Last but not least, Lauren has agreed to be GAD email reminder gal, pulling newsworthy bits from the minutes and keeping GAD members in the know!
Can´t get enough of GAD? Read up on more in the GAD section of another gab-worthy edition of this latest Kuat.
