Day One: Bling Bling



Task: Create beaded jewellery for Pathway’s Women’s Crisis Centre and medium-term housing as a gift for women who have experienced some difficult periods in their life and who will be blessed by the kindness and generosity shown through receiving a gift from people they have never met.

On a quest, with Pathways Community Outreach, to help better the lives of women in crisis, thirteen Year Seven to Nine students with the assistance of Mrs. Egan are making lovely beaded jewellery.  Mrs. Egan says “It’s worthwhile seeing how people are learning to do things for others.”

These beautiful pieces of jewellery are being sent to women in crisis, in particular those affected by domestic violence. The aim is to brighten up the lives of these women and to give them some hope that their world will get better and let them know that there are people who care for them greatly. Bling Bling has no specific number of jewellery items in mind but they hope to make as many pieces of jewellery as they possibly can over three school days. Their real goal is to do something special for these women in crisis.
