Talia shows off her winner's certificate |
Talia K, a 16-year-old from Maine, spoke with great passion about Dress a Girl Around the World. She continually asked us to envision a world where every girl owned at least one dress, and pointed out how a well-dressed girl was actually less likely to be targeted for the slave trade. We learned that people help sew the dresses rather than relying on machinery or mass-production, and each dress is distributed on mission trips in person, not just shipped abroad.
The external judge gave Talia the nod for not only her crafted speech, but because she had personally raised money and sewn dresses for the charity herself.
Congratulations, Talia!
Dress a Girl Southern Maine is so incredibly proud of you with your school work and contributions helping impoverish girls around the world. Your are a rising star. Jacqueline Dewey, Ambassador DAG Southern Maine
