Hope [7 years old] was initially reluctant to attend the holiday program because she didn’t know anybody. However, when I picked her up at the end of the first day, she was bubbling and excited about her new friend, and what a fun day she’d had. Because of her age, I thought that 3 comprehensive days might possibly be too much for her, but she truly did gain. In my opinion, the effect of the SHINE experience on Hope is that she is more aware of her surroundings in general, and confident within herself and in her dealings with others. I think this program is beneficial to all girls – and I would definitely recommend it.
