I really admire people who create initiatives like that. I’ve been a youth worker for about 5 years one thing it’s done is really made me appreciate how seemingly little things like this can profoundly change someones life. Nice to see that someone is bringing a bit of happiness to those girls lives!

Stories like these always make my heart glad. There is a lot of good in the world and it’s easy to lose track of that among all the bad news. Sometimes I wished news would pay more attention to stories like this to lighten the mood rather than superficial puff pieces.
