Butterflies

I am so proud of all the girls I have been working with. When I first arrived at SDC the girls were focused on perfection, and would only traced drawings in books when given a blank piece of paper, despite the assignment given to them. They had never used paint or pastels, most girls had not used colored pencils and some had not used markers. Now they can use all the new materials,  follow any directions I throw at them, and create beautiful pieces of original art. When given free sheets of paper they now create their own drawings, or write an uplifting billet-doux (in English) to me or one another (which are very cute).
