We went by our main home on Saturday where I was able to meet the girls. Stephanie gave her presentation and report about selling the jewelry. They saw the website and photographs of all the earings they made. You could see they were so excited and felt very proud of their work.
The girls are so full of life. Many were more energetic than I was... (I get worn out by the heat.) Most of them look like they're about 15 years old. Since they appear as such normal typical teenage girls, it's hard to believe they've been through such difficult trauma. Looking at them and meeting them you would never know it.
While we were there two European flight attendants who were passing through the city stopped by to purchase some of their handmade products. While Stephanie was home in America the girls used the skills she had taught them, and made more jewelry from the beads the nuns had purchased. I was so impressed. The ultimate goal is to teach them skills they would be able to use themselves, and here, just a few months later they are already accomplishing it!
