Slum Project






We have started a project with six girls from the slums near by. Out of the six girls five of them have babies and the oldest girl is 18 with a 6 year old child. The youngest girl is 13. Last year Lauren started this project and we are continuing it. The girls make the cards and on Fridays we are able to pay them for what they have made. We will bring the cards back to the US and sale them. We are meeting with them three days a week for two hours. Not only will it give them a small about of money, it gives them hope in learning a skill and friendship with the interns here. I am sure I will have many stories to tell about our meeting with these young women.
