Laura's Junior League project
Laura is a provisional member of the Junior League and their class's project is to improve some of the playground area at the Talitha Koum (Aramaic for "My child, rise up") Nurture Center near downtown Waco. "Research shows that lower income children who do not receive help by the age of three will likely never escape the cycle of higher dropout rates, teenage birthrates, and criminal arrest rates." (Newsweek) Talitha Koum helps nurture these children so they can be productive and successful later in life. Below are three photos showing the progress of just one aspect of the Junior League Provisional Class's work.
Email me if you'd like to donate to the cause in any way.
