Mi Esperanza Course: Belleza/Beauty & Personal Skills 2010/2011
Miriam came to Mi Esperanza, as many women do, looking for an opportunity to improve her life. Miriam comes from a very poor community on the outskirts of Tegucigalpa, and daily survival has always been a struggle. Her husband works hard, but it still was not enough to meet basic needs and the costs of sending her 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 kept Miriam on because of her good work ethic, personality, and willingness to learn. Miriam is very happy at her work and has a wonderful working relationship with the owner. Miriam is happy to be able to contribute to her family’s needs. She was very proud to say her daughter began kindergarten and is doing well.
