Faith the Flamingo

Tran Thi Ha's Story of Hope When I was a small kid, I did not have a chance to go to school. My beloved mother taught me crocheting. I really admire her and want to become an Artisan like her. In my community, there are not many jobs for the housewives like us. Trades of Hope and my Artisan community helped me get a financially stable job to support my family. This work is my only income, helping me to make ends meet for my whole family. I do not have to worry much about my children's school fees anymore. Furthermore, if my children love something, I can buy it for them instead of just looking regretfully. Now, I'm more confident in my life and have many more friends. Every day, to work is a joy!
