benefitting the women of Shepherd’s Cove
PROJECT INSPARATION is a community sponsored Spa Day benefitting the women of Shepherd’s Cove emergency shelter in Prince George’s County, Maryland. As one of the largest emergency housing facilities in Prince George’s County, Shepherd’s Cove offers educational training, GED tutoring, and computers classes for its residents. On the afternoon of Sunday, May 6, 2012, the center will be transformed into an oasis of rejuvenation, relaxation, and of course inspiration.
PROJECT INSPARATION evolved from the “beauty nights” that Ashley & Brittney Drakeford shared with their mother. It was their time to work on reconnecting the mind, body and soul. Many women are fortunate enough to be able to de-stress and refocus their energy with time at the spa with friends or at a beauty parlor. Project In-Spa-ration is an early mother’s day gift and strives to share the “beauty night” experience with others. The day features several workshops including: a mini-manicures, facials, massages, along with health & wellness demonstrations.
