Beauty is the 38 year old woman, missing most of her front teeth and the remaining ones decaying, as she carefully considers what letter comes next as she attempts to print her own first name.
Beauty is the 33-year old mother of 7 children as she attempts to complete her math lesson while attending to her 3-year old and nursing her 18-month old.
Beauty is the woman whose blouse is covered with permanent stains as well as those from her morning of working in the dump, coming to learn how to do simple addition.
"A woman of noble character, who can find? She is worth far more than rubies....She is clothed with strength and dignity...." (Prv. 31:10, 25)
Beauty are the women who despite their life in the city dump are committed to improving themselves and providing a better life for their children.
Beauty is in the eye of the beholder and the God who created all of these women in God's own image has pronounced them good and beautiful.
