HERE IS AN UPDATE ON THE SELF WORTH EVENTS POWERED BY YOUR DONATIONS IN 2016!
WE WANTED YOU TO KNOW WHAT WE WERE UP TO WITH THIS TINY BUT POWERFUL NON-PROFIT ORGANIZATION! BECAUSE OF YOU, THAT ADOPTED GIRL WAS ABLE TO PROVIDE FUN EXPERIENCES AND GIFTS FOR GIRLS IN THE FOSTER CARE SYSTEM IN 2016!
JANUARY – SWEET
Self-Worth Encourage Empower Thrive
20 girls
Started the morning with a self worth exercise (“shadow box”) where the girls made a collage of everything the show to the world on the outside of the box and everything they hide from the world on the inside of the box and we talked about why they hide what they hide, and what they could potentially gain and give by sharing their truth.
Next had mac make-up artists lead a tutorial and he gave amazing mac makeup gift bags.
We then had lunch catered by a local sandwich shop and headed to JM Hair Galleries for hair styling and positive life advice.
After the salon the girls headed to the Jeff Civillico family friendly show at the Flamingo on the Las Vegas Strip. It was a blast!
Finished the night off with family style dinner at Lindo Michoachan.
