Mi Esperanza Course: Belleza/Beauty & Personal Skills 2010/2011
Miriam came to Mi Esperanza, like many women, looking for an opportunity to improve her life. Miriam comes from an impoverished community on the outskirts of Tegucigalpa, and daily survival has always been a struggle. Her husband works hard, but it still wasn't enough to meet their basic needs and the costs of sending their daughter, Crystal, to kindergarten. Taking the Mi Esperanza beauty course and personal skills course opened doors for Miriam that she had never had before. In December 2011, Miriam was hired at Salon New Style to help with the busy holiday season. When the holiday season was over, the owner retained Miriam due to her strong work ethic, personality, and willingness to learn. Miriam is pleased with her work and has an excellent working relationship with the owner. Miriam is happy to be able to contribute to her family's income. She was very proud to say that her daughter had begun kindergarten and was doing well.
