As summer comes to an end, everyone returns to school and classes, we remember our DLG workshop this past June. Our collection of pictures, videos, memories & friends made this experience another one for the books 🙌. A heartfelt thank you to the Carmel Family ( whose generous donation made our summer workshop in Rome possible. 💛

Thanks to them, we partnered with and brought together a team of 6 volunteers .villamizar to among 20 women and children from .luce.pdn We donated sewing machines, textiles, and notions—planting seeds of creativity that we hope will keep growing. 🌱✂️

The skills learned will help these women design, create, and explore entrepreneurial paths that can help break the cycle of poverty.

Sharing time with women from diverse cultures, beliefs, and backgrounds opened hearts and minds on both sides. We left with more empathy, recognizing that we share far more similarities than differences.

We experienced moments we’ll carry forever—and we can’t wait to keep creating these connections in new corners of the world where women dream big. 🌍💫
