Here is a photo of some of my workshop participants. My workshop covers topics like: the importance of saving money, how to use micro-finance tools responsibly, and (most importantly) how to gain the self-confidence required to make good life choices. These girls come from impoverished backgrounds, and many of their peers suffer from addiction, have joined gangs, and/or have become mothers at a very early age. These girls are amazing, and so kind. Today they sang me Peru's national anthem in Quechua (so beautiful). This is exactly why I'm here - in a nutshell.
