A global moment: D.C. JewelGirls meet Biljana
In May, Biljana came all the way from Serbia to speak at our annual gala. She also got to meet all of our D.C. girls in our JewelGirls program. This was Biljana's first trip to America, and she is our first JewelGirl at FAIR Fund. Very exiting!
Our Youngest JewelGirls in Russia
Two very young girl survivors enjoy the benefits of showing off the beautiful jewelry that they learned to make at our workshops in their state shelter. While they are too young to sell their jewelry like many of our other girls, they get to showcase their art work and learn new reading and writing skills.
Amazing FAIR Girl, Khadisha, showing off!!
Khadisha is a 17 year old JewelGirl who has been making jewelry and coming to FAIR Girls empowerment workshops for three years! Next year? She's college bound! Yeah!! That is EMPOWERMENT!
Keniah is awesome!
This is Keniah and she's an amazing JewelGirl -- she's a confident jewelry sales girl and loves being at FAIR Girls each week!
