Report from the 2019 Bazaar
On March 15, 2019 the Girl Rising Club hosted an evening bazaar in the Rhoades School courtyard, with food, art, jewelry and other items for sale. We were honored to have a panel of speakers including Peacemakers from the International Rescue Committee. These young refugees told their stories of courage and perseverance in being resettled in San Diego and pursuing their education. Charlene Espinoza also joined the panel. Charlene is the founder and CEO of Bosh Bosh. A former Peace Corps volunteer in Liberia, Charlene started Bosh Bosh with the mission to educate and offer skills to women and girls so they can restore their communities and, in turn, their country.
Several vendors sold jewelry, dreamcatchers, gourmet popcorn, purses and other fun items at the bazaar this year, including Bosh Bosh, Rea of Light Jewelry and Wulu Mae. Rhoades students provided live music in the courtyard. And, we enjoyed street tacos, rice and beans.
The goal of the Girl Rising Bazaar is to raise money and awareness about education for girls around the world. All proceeds from this event fund education for girls who will be the first in their family to receive an education.
If you were unable to the bazaar, you can still donate to Girl Rising through the Rhoades Foundation website. Thank you for your support!
Report from 2018 Bazaar
Because of gender disparity in developing countries, many girls lack the opportunity to get an education. To help solve this problem, our middle school Girl Rising Club hosted a bazaar last March at the Rhoades School. The proceeds went to support education for girls though She’s the First, Save the Children, and Casa de Amistad. At the event, vendors sold goods including bath bombs, essential oils, henna tattoos, Girl Rising bags, Girl Rising t-shirts, pillows, crafts, and Indian clothing. We served delicious tamales with rice and beans and sold baked goods for dessert.
To close the event, we showed our namesake Girl Rising film. This film has inspirational stories about disadvantaged girls who were able to overcome obstacles to get an education. This was an eye-opening night with the potential to change girls’ lives around the world. And, with the proceeds from the event we sponsored four girls: Stellah, from South Sudan, and Ruth, from Peru, Angela in the Philippines, and a student at Casa de Amistad. Our sponsorship includes education, boarding, uniforms, heath care, and mentoring.

Open Mic Night was amazing!
The Girl Rising Club hosted the 2nd Annual Open Mic Night on Friday, February 1st at the Rhoades School. Over 30 Rhoades students shared their talents from singing and dancing to stand-up comedy.
