end of July...

The team from Canada left on Friday, with a great party in the afternoon; the 50 clients we have plus 20 staff were all given a beautiful pearl and a pink rose by the team as symbols of their worth and beauty in God's eyes and ours too. The girls performed some beautiful dance pieces they had learned, and there was showcasing of the hair-do's the girls had learned in the hair-styling program. It was a fun and special afternoon. Many thanks to the team for all their hard work and dedication, they brought lots of fun, skills, learning opportunities and hope to the girls. Many girls mentioned the workshops on domestic violence as having been helpful, since this is an experience that is common to so many of them. They also liked the drug education and the budgeting workshops.

Next week it will be back to business and busyness as usual, with quite a number of orders to finish in The Sewing Room and some new customers to meet with. This business is growing steadily and beginning to generate income, and we find that work at Daughters is continually moving forward in exciting ways, changing and growing.
