Its’ destination is mostly the lungs, intestine and the spleen
When it enters the body, it is just one but then starts to expand and multiply in the body.
After about ten days the body is covered with millions off body cells infected and billions of viruses swarming the lungs.
Coronavirus is more than the flu because it is way more dangerous.
A fast pandemic is very rapid and cost many lives but a slow pandemic will not be remembered in history, so in this case coronavirus is a fast pandemic because of its rapid spread.
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.
WORDS ON MARBLE
“My mission in life is not merely to survive, but to thrive; and to do so with some passion, some compassion, some humor, and some style.”
Maya Angelou
“Doing the best at this moment puts you in the best place for the next moment.”
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.
Team bonding
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.
QUESTIONWhat
ailment disturbs a fruit fly?
ANSWER Constipation.
QUESTIONIn
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.

At HAFSA Girls club, we engage in numerous fun and educative activities. We try to ensure that the girls are armed with the right tools to navigate life. We encourage them to look within and see how they can improve on themselves. They often times have a pictorial interpretation for subjects treated.
In the last few weeks, the girls talked about what it means to have greatness within you. Many stories were shared about great people who made it against all odds. Stories of great minds like Oprah Winfrey, Les Brown and Olympia LePoint were shared with the girls. They discovered that everyone could be great if only they would look within, and never give up.
Here are some beautiful interpretations by some of the girls;
“Don’t complain about what you don’t have. Use what you’ve got. To do less than your best is a sin. Every single one of us has the power for greatness, because greatness is determined by service-to yourself and to others”.
“I don’t know what you are up against, I don’t know what you’re facing. But here’s what I do know: You’ve got greatness in you, and I know its possible that you can live your dream”.
