Let’s get real. Every girl wants to look good. What’s more, every girl wants the attention of that cute guy she’s had her eye on. For many girls, looking sexy is the key to getting that attention. And herein lies the problem. What a teen girl wears says a lot about who she is. But does she know that? Does she stop to think that she’s advertising with every outfit she puts on? Take a look at the girls in your youth group and in your church. Do they know what they are really saying about themselves? Wish you could talk to them honestly and openly about the message they are sending to the opposite sex?
The Sexy Girls event guide can help. It has been designed as an overnight event with questions and activities that coordinate with specific chapters from my book Sexy Girls: How Hot is Too Hot? We’ll take a look at this thing called “modesty”, see why God cares about what’s in a girl’s closet, and learn how to make good decisions about style. And by the time we’re done, your girls will have learned to understand their bodies and how guys look at them (and they are looking!)
The Sexy Girls event begins in the early evening and ends the following afternoon. The Friday evening session should help introduce the topic, while still leaving plenty of time for games, movies, or any other fun activities you might want to do together. Keep in mind that Saturday’s schedule is more intense, so you will want to encourage your girls to get some sleep the night before. The suggested time frames are listed in the Overview, but feel free to adapt these times as needed.

These documents are expressly

that the PAM be referenced in the RRP and in
the loan (or facility) agreements, is presented as a stand-alone linked document
to the RRP, and serves as the main document describing implementation details.
The PAM is prepared in the course of loan processing and initially agreed with
the government at the loan fact-finding stage. At loan negotiations, the borrower
and ADB shall review and confirm the PAM agreed during loan fact-finding to
ensure consistency with the loan agreement, and such confirmation shall be
reflected in the minutes of the loan negotiations. The detailed cost estimate by
