The 2022 summer camp was crowned with a grand party put together by the members of HAFSA GIRLS CLUB. Suad, Maisarah, Khadijah, Mariam, Eeman and the rest of the ladies too many to mention worked on the entire event from setting up to decor, food and refreshment cleaning up and overall awesome participants. Our wonderful parents supported us with food, drinks and snacks of all kinds. Big thanks to Teasers Party Concessions for ensuring that we had enough sugar rush by providing us with the snow cones, Cotton candy and Popcorn. We hope next years party will be bigger and better by His special grace.

International Women’s Day
Happy International Women’s Day to all our members and readers. As we celebrate women and our accomplishments around the world, let us remember to be a positive influence on the people around us. We, as young girls and women should strive to be our very best at all times. We never know who might be inspired by our way of life.

Summer Camp 2019 Recap!
As we prepare for the 2020 HAFSA GIRLS CLUB SUMMER CAMP, we take a moment to remember the great memories of the 2019 SUMMER CAMP.
We had many amazing girls that participated in our free six weeks camp. New friendships were forged, bonds created, and many life lessons learnt.
Our goofy science projects were amazing. We made bath bombs, learnt how to inflate balloons with recycled plastic bottles. We used liquid solutions to inflate and maintain air in balloons, and also made beautiful slimes amongst many others.
Team Bonding Reading the Quran
Our arts and crafts were fantastic. The girls made paper flowers, soft toys from yarn, origami, karaoke and other cool activities. Every day, we read and memorized the Holy Quran (Suratul Hujurat) and some Hadiths; we discussed social, moral and intellectual issues like personal hygiene, bullying, confidence building, total trust in God, overcoming peer pressure amongst many others.
We engaged in many team bonding activities, Zumba dance with instructor, field trips to the cinema, indoor swimming, ice skating and funny but educative trivia questions. For example,
QUESTION In South Dakota, it is illegal to fall and sleep where?
ANSWER In a cheese factory.
QUESTION What ailment disturbs a fruit fly?
ANSWER Constipation.
QUESTION In California, you cannot legally buy a mousetrap without having a what?
ANSWER Hunting license
Above all, the girls were in a safe and positive environment, where they learnt new things and ideas, made friends and lifetime memories. Special thanks to Light Upon Light, Goza Dance Fitness and all the families and friends; the dads, grandmothers, mothers, aunts and volunteers that supported with their time, money and sweat. You are the real MVPS.
MVPs Mom sure had a lot of fun!

POSITIVE AFFIRMATIONS
Welcome to our world! Our children should be taught to make positive statements about themselves, what they want and who they want to become. Since our belief system is built early in life, Positive affirmations would help to lay the foundation for a healthy set of beliefs which will help anyone from within. Positive affirmations create positive children. Practice the following affirmations daily, preferably morning, night and anytime in between.
I am blessed I am strong
I am unique There is only one of me
I love my family I love myself
I accept myself I am worthy
I am beautiful I am confident
I believe in myself I am important
