The hands of the ladies in the Umoja Craft group are weathered like those of my father - they work hard, pouring their love for their children and determination to give them a better life into their creations. And the beauty that rises out of the raw and recycled materials is like a phoenix, bringing hope to the women and life back into their faces as they share with one another the trials and successes of life.

Awesome post! You hook the reader with the first paragraph and then hit a home run with the conclusion. "...pouring their love for their children and determination to give them a better life into their creations. And the beauty that rises out of the raw and recycled materials is like a phoenix, bringing hope..." Wow. You are an inspiring writer! Well done!
