The Need–The Response

When I began as a volunteer, the team offered the workshop in English and in Spanish to the men only due to the volume of males compared to females. It was awesome to see how focused they were! They were getting it! They were asking questions. I was seeing winners! How wonderful to see this amazing program bringing hope, self-esteem, and dignity to those who need it most. Regardless of guilt or innocence, this was a way I could help both sides. Our next step was to request the workshop for the Ladies.
