| Dress Event at MDP The Martin de Porres Center turned into an "open store" last week for young girls who were looking for a beautiful dress for a special fiesta. Proyecto Mariposas has hosted a Quinceañera Fiesta for five years, and these dresses were just right for that kind of celebration. Thirty gowns were donated for the "shopping" event that provided a fun way for girls to come and see and try them on for fit. The dresses that remained were all donated to groups that provide dresses for high school girls. Please click here to see the images from the "store." |
