We've started a new series of professional consultations and workshops for our program's teen mothers in Moscow. One of such workshops took place on October 16, 2014. It was devoted to turning dreams into actions and creating a map of the future.
Svetlana Lototskaya, a Kidsave Russia supporter and a successful makeup industry expert, talked to our girls about the importance of continious personal development, setting life priorities and visualizing dreams. They discussed different ways of planning the future for teen moms and their kids.
After this inspiring and personal discussion young moms, a bit nervous and reserved first, started sharing their dreams with Svetlana. One of the teen mothers is waiting for her child's father to come back from the army. Many girls talked about their dream home - a cozy and safe place filled with their kids' laughter and family traditions.
Svetlana suggested taking these dreams one step closer to reality and creating a real physical map or a collage of things the girls hope for or like. It was a touching moment when you could really see how young and vulnerable these mothers are - giggling, chatting, cutting images out of magazines, drawing pictures and mapping a brighter future for themselves and their babies.
