SOHO Room Makeovers

We are just a few days away from our closing ceremony!  Makeovers went amazingly this year.  We had some true transformations and amazing teamwork between big sisters, little sisters and their families and friends. 

Over the past two weekends big sisters with the help of SOHO staff made over 10 rooms for our SOHO girls. The rooms were filled with the artwork created over the course of their entire time at SOHO: like self-portraits, curtains, pillows and blankets. Big sisters were also given a budget to purchase things for the rooms; both functional things they might need as well as decorative things mirrors, pictures, rugs and lamps. 

By the end, each big and little sister had worked together to truly a calming, inspiring and beautiful space for each girl.  Some pairs created reading areas, places to do homework, places to hang artwork and photos, places to dream, places to highlight memories and remind themselves of their goals.

Some rooms had a lot of help from neighbors, family of the girls and the women, and even the big sisters' own community members. 

Here are a few more highlights for you:
