Identity and Worth
Many of the beneficiaries of our Shine classes have shared how they have grown in character and self-confidence as a result of the program.
Improved Emotional and Physical Health
“I still struggle with my emotions. However, I have been able to lose about 10kg and I am working hard to continue to lose even more weight with your help and your effort on our behalf.”
Finding Purpose, Feeling Good!
“Going to class is so wonderful… I used to cry all day and night because I felt purposeless at home. Now I can wear anything and I feel so much better.”
Hope Restored Through Fitness Classes
“Before coming to fitness I was hopeless but after coming here I received great hope,” Rosa said.
God has created me perfectly!
