Session 3 Comments

Ladies,
So sorry I had to miss the closing session..... I figured I could let this post be my contribution to the closing discussions. Each project we did throughout Session 3 provided a unique insight into women's issues in Denver.
At the Empowerment Program we learned how their organization works to help women transition out of dire situations. The Program's dedication to making lives a little brighter made it easy and gratifying to provide the "secret santa" gift of painting their spaces.

The Joy House experience was eye-opening. One thing I noted particularly in this project was the difficulty that one woman had getting work after being isolated by her abuser for so long. That is a truly unique disadvantage of abused women that I would never have thought about before hearing that woman's story.

Project WISE was an evening of inspiration. Brave women in less than great situations that WORK to be part a community.
All told, I had a great experience. Thanks to the Team Leaders and all the team members for making it fun!
