Art Works for Change Exhibition Coordinator and former Boys & Girls Clubs of Chicago mentor Greg Lunceford visited the Valentine Club and introduced societal issues in Africa. Club members learned about the struggles that African women face every day within their society. They focused on education, stewardship, politics, health and economics. The group also created a life-size OWARE (mancala) board game out of cardboard and painted symbolic images for each theme. Their very own footprints were used as game pieces, symbolizing the participants' walking the footsteps of women in Africa.
