Project Hope

by Lynette Still (contributor)

This book is about a young girl named Nikki that in the midst of overcoming her own circumstances; still tries to help others. She is willing to put herself at risk repeatedly while creating Project Hope. She is a child of the streets and began her life inside the world of gangs and crime. Now she strives to save people like herself from that life before they are forever lost.Project Hope is her vision of a safe-house and shelter where the people she saves can be free from their past, and begin to learn skills to survive in the outside world. Once there for a time, they will help to teach newcomers the skills that they have learned; making each of them a teacher for Hope.This community becomes a new start for many who would otherwise have lived out a life on the street; any dreams they may have had, gone. With the restoring of their hope, and their dreams of the future restored; many begin to call Nikki the Dreamweaver, for knitting together the shattered pieces of their broken dreams.
