Helen Keller once said, "The most beautiful things in the world cannot be seen or even touched. They must be felt with the heart." I felt a beautiful thing when I visited the Wagener Women's Well in rural Wagener, SC with my friends Kay Reardon and Sue Bowersock.
The Wagener Women's Well is a center for women which provides hope, support, life skills and meals to the women of Wagener, SC. The center staff teaches money and home management skills, sewing, quilting, healthy cooking, computer basics and leads Bible studies. The mission of the center is to give encouragement to those who are in need of a "better hope" in life and to help build confidence and trust through the leadership skill of caring mentors.
