The passion to help adolescent girls find purpose was birthed many years ago when her childhood teenage friend got married to an older man who was an abuser, presenter Yvonne Barrow revealed at a transformational seminar which targeted girls aged 12 to 15 years old in New Amsterdam, over the weekend.
Last Saturday the 40 girls drawn from New Amsterdam and its surrounding communities, converged at the Vryman’s Erven Secondary School, where they participated in an Empowerment Seminar hosted by Barrow, in collaboration with social workers in Region Six, the Anglican Church’s Mothers Union, and Barrels of Love, a non-governmental organisation based in the United States of America.
