Girls Club Crafts

In the picture below you can see (from left to right) some of our Divas; Alani, Yohani, Carolina, Rosemary, Anamilka, and Loraina. They are sitting in Girls Club and working on a craft, made with white rice. You can see the results of their work to the side. These girls have been coming to the Club for almost 6 months now, and they have come so far. Back in June, when the Girls Club started, we would try to organize crafts for the kids. The girls had never done anything like that before, and were so self conscious about their abilities. They were unwilling to even attempt the craft on their own; even the simple act of drawing a flower or colouring in a picture. They would want one of us standing behind them; often asking for us to do it for them or to hold the pencil with them. These pictures show how far they have come. Not only are they now able to have fun creating crafts and working independantly, but they are also able to gain self confidence in their abilities.
