In our design workshop, our BLING girls (and boys!) worked with their design leader to come up with some high end jewelry pieces. They came up with some great ideas and in the next month we want to produce those! the girls keep asking me when I'm going to order all the materials...It's great to see them excited and eager to do new things.
When I asked Yaneth and Mariah, the two oldest girls in our program, about what they thought about the event, they said,
"I'm excited to start having home parties for people our age."
and
"The business workshop was boring but we talked about a lot and got a lot done."
We had so much great help from our experts in business and design and I am do thankful for how they got our students more involved in the logistics in BLING. The Summit was a huge success!
