What life brings you

There are many girls who come into our office feeling nothing but hopelessness, and leaving with loads of hope. How many are offered it, but don't take it preferring to stay with their money, their plans, afraid of such a big change. But what is life without change?

It's amazing how the girls that better understand the great importance of the life they're carrying, or the fact that they are already prepared for this new responsability as women and mothers, are usually the ones with less financial resources. These women might have no papers, no job, no close family. Maybe not even a home!
This wonderful wisdom, a gift from God to these women who probably will be confronting great challenges, is something our society lacks nowadays. But here they are. Keeping their modest lives, showing us how selfish we all can be sometimes. Because there are times when you don't keep your plan, but you keep a life.
"Suffering cheerfully endured, ceases to be suffering and is transmuted into an ineffable joy."
Mathama Gandhi
