“A rainbow of tiny rubber bands seems almost worthless, until the DaSilva girls pluck them out of a pile and stretch them onto their looms to help children who live on the other side of the world.
“‘If you keep going, it gets easier and easier,’ the oldest sister Isabella says as she creates another bracelet.
“‘This is what it looks like when you’re done,’ the youngest sister Sophia says, pointing to a colorful creation on her wrist.
“The West Warwick girls used their dedicated little hands to accomplish big things, well beyond accessorizing. And it all started with inspiration from a fourth sister.”
A recent WPRI-TV report profiled the efforts of the DaSilva children as they strive to support the Project Forgotten Child ministry of the Sisters of Saint Dorothy (North American Province). These efforts were begun after a presentation by Sister Judith A. Costa, S.S.D., at Saint Anthony Parish, West Warwick, RI, last summer.
