Thanks to a donation of art supplies from my friends Crystal and Shawn, from Eureka CA, the girls at SDC got to make hemp bracelets! The girls chose a bead to represent themselves, as well as a bead for their past, present, and future. I was worried that they wouldn't like the hemp rope, because they generally only value synthetic materials. However, the girls loved it! The staff even liked the bracelets so much they thought about taking them away from the girls, to put on display, so the girls couldn't loose them. After explaining the temporary nature of hemp jewelry, and the reassurance we could do the activity again the girls got to keep their creations.
