Reflections of a Week in Celebration

Issah, Gifty and Rose look over
Stories From The Streets

From the walk, to the book launch and then the homecoming celebration, we have had quite an extraordinary week. One of the biggest delights that I had was watching the Street Girls Aid staff looking through Stories From The Streets and finding a photo, or a statistic or a story that made them smile. As we sat on the steps, Issah, Rose and Gifty ran through the names and stories of some of the girls featured in the book and reminisced.

come to the streets.

In the sewing room where we were picking up our outfits and book bags made from the commemorative fabric, Mary, reviewed the statistic tables about street children and then read them aloud to the others listening.

 And then at the homecoming, some of the women featured in the book conducted a mentoring workshop for the girls currently in the refuge offering firsthand hope and inspiration. The energy and celebration activities were electric and joyous.

One of Cathy Smith's highlights included the recognition of staff, this clip demonstrates the approval of the girls when Ma Rose received her award.
