While walking through Papine Square midday on a Saturday, kareemsquest.com saw several young girls sitting around an elderly lady and paying keen attention to her. Their eyes gleamed with excitement and interest, as they were being shown how to crochet, and after the demonstration each one eagerly waited to get the needle.
Miss Patricia has been doing this for decades and used to sell her goods at a different location, however less persons were visiting her stall. So, one day her friend encouraged her to go to the park, and reassured her that she would be safe. Apprehensive at first, due to the activities of some undesirables, Miss Patricia took a while to warm up to the idea.
To her surprise, kareemsquest.com was told that these young girls gravitated to her warm spirit and attentively watched her while she crochet. Seeing their devotion, she started to teach them, while providing a safe space for them to express themselves. “When we are around her, we feel safe. Plus, if we get hungry she would buy us bag juice and corn bread,” one of the girls stated to kareemsquest.com.
