One of the girls in the group - a carer - finds she is able to relax and is developing a sense of her own worth. Another had little understanding of sharing as at home if she isn't quick to get her food she goes without - she is now only taking her fair share from the food cooked by the girls and is engaging more in group discussions; yet another is developing artistic skills and is taking a lead in providing ideas for others in the group.
